What is it?
I can find it to be 74-75 ft lb for the rear according to a video on YouTube and I did that.

I don’t know if the front caliper has the same torque? Right now I just did 75 and don’t want the bolt to back out.

The last gen seems to all have 130 instead. What’s everyone doing on this?

According to Alldata the front caliber bolts are 55 Ft lbs.
Front caliber adapter bolts (calls for new bolts) are 59 Ft lbs + 55° turn.
Rear caliber bolts are 25 Ft lbs.

Thank you for the pictures. I do want to question the front caliper bolt’s torque. It says 55 while the rear caliper bolt says 25. I snapped the front one by turning it the wrong direction, so I would hesitate to follow the 55. When I loosened it it was definitely more on the 25 side, not hard to turn at all.

Otherwise I hope 75 on a 59lb spec should be fine.
