I'm going to be installing some powder coated calipers within the next month. Does anybody know what the Caliper to bracket torque spec is, along with the Bracket to Knuckle and the Brake Line Banjo Bolt? I can't seem to find this info anywhere!

Thanks!

Do these bolts require any lock tight?

Don't listen to this... those caliper bolts will break if over-torqued.

I guess the unexperienced may snap these.My Bad.Over the many years of tightening these,you get to know when they are tight enough by hand.I replaced a wheel stud for a buddy before and put the wheel on and said to him,okay there you go now just tighten it up.As I walked away to put my tools away he overtightened it with a hand wrench and snapped it right off,back to square one...I felt kind of bad.
