Hi all,
Just in the process of putting a set of new seals in all 4 of my front brake calipers on a spirit 3. Would anyone be able to tell me the tightening torques of the 4 bolts that hold both halves of the calipers together please.
Cheers

The internal galley square cut seals provide the sealing of the caliper halves so a torque figure is not required. It will only tighten so much. Standard practice is to know the max torque of a bolt based on composition and size, again not a very critical matter here.
