    I was replacing my pads and rotors on my 2019 Off Road and accidently took out the wrong bolts on the back of the caliper. I took out the 2 bolts that hold the caliper halves together.

    Does anyone know what the torque specs are on those bolts?

    I have not found an exact answer but one I saw said 90 ftlb. Is this correct?

    Thank you

    As Bill said, a couple ugga duggas will suffice. Can't use a torque wrench for everything.

    Caliper halves are machined flat and there is a small o-ring in there so as long as you did not actually pull them apart tight is good.
    I rebuilt mine and just tightened up. If you know bolt size and rating here is a chart if OCD.
