'03 VY SS Ute 5.8Ltr V8
Hi, I'm about to replace my rotors and pads on my '03 VY SS Ute and have been trying to find the nut/screw torque settings for the calipers, I'm only doing the rears but i'd love the front settings as well for future reference. Could someone please help me out, Would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot.



P.S My apologies if I posted this twice, I posted it in the how-to section but it didn't show up, then i realized that section wasn't for questions anyway so I re-posted here. Cheers.

You talking about the 2 bolts that hold the calipers on to the car?

Manual says.

fronts 80-90nm plus half a turn.
rears 70-80nm

i'd just do em up as tight as you can with a dob of med strength thread-locker on the bolt to be safe.
