comanche12 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 i never check up for tq spec on brakes wheni work on it for many years. caliper bracket bolt tend just tight it up with enough lever. but caliper bolt-don't just tight it well. just tight as snug. tight with 6" ratchet is good enough on caliper bolt.

And I just realized Ive been speelling torque wrong :oops: Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjrev10 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 every bolt on the jeep probably had a engineer that figured out the optimum torque for each one. just something to complicate everything IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comanche12 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 yeah :agree: but really yes even sparkplugs hav tq spec. i rather tq it than strip the thread and have to replave the cylinder head :ack: :peek: or use helicoil than replace the cylinder head. :smart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
