Caliper Mounting Bracket

[TTA1326]

What's the torque for the huge bolts that hold the caliper mounting bracket to the spindle? (Yes, I know. I'm about to hit the Helms site an order the manual, but I can't wait on it!)

I checked both manuels and there's no spec listed. I've always justdid the German method - guedentite!

Thanks for trying! I finally found it about half way down this page...

Caliper adapter bracket to steering knuckle
Tighten to 89 ft.lbs without loctite, or 83 ft.lbs with loctite.

Caliper retaining cage to adapter bracket
Tighten to 137 ft.lbs

I think that qualifies for "guedentite"!
