New Caliper Guide Bolts - Torque and Questions

[1fast6]

Should have really posted here first :roll:

I have a new set of calipers to use when i reinstall my brakes tomorrow however pagid have supplied some caliper guide bolts as well as lucas (girling) in their boxes. Is there going to be much of a difference? if not i'll use the pagid ones as they shiny :lol:

Secondly, how tight in terms of torque do they need to be, there not that big as far as bolts go so i'm worried about overtightening or snapping them.

Lastly, should i use thread lock on them or not bother. Haven't bothered before but i noticed some people use it.

Cheers

fit the new ones with the new calipers as pagid shud supply correct bolts with pad kit! i just did mine up as tight as i cud pretty much with a smallish ratchet. you need to counterhold a larger nut to get the bolts in/out n all. i didnt bother with thread lock.

The new ones have a thread locking compound on them, if not then you shoudl use thread lock.

You must always replace them according to haynes

35Nm, so not massivly tight
