2001 TL brakes...

Unfortunately I don't have helm's yet so my questions:
1. When removing the caliper bracket, do I have to replace the bolts with new ones?
2. What is the torque on those bolts?
3. What's the torque on the caliper bolts?

I can't think of any thing else that I should know with TL brake change...

Thanks in advance.

I did mine on Honda civic...dun really care on the torgue...but make sure after installing them..you still have good alignment on your wheel! sometimes you messed them up...

so...my advice: give it enough torgue (half rotation more from the time you feel the friction) to tighten the bolt.
