Brake Job ... need Torque Values

[Carscadden]

First time doing brakes on my 04 Z4. Can someone point to me to a reference for Torque values. Specifically caliper bolt torque and wheel lug nut torque.

Thanks,

Front brake caliper:
Guide pin bolts - 26ft lbs
Mounting bracket bolts - 81 ft lbs

Rear Brake caliper
Guide pin bolts - 26ft lbs
Mounting bracket bolts - 29 ft lbs

Brake disc retaining screw 144 inch pounds

Wheel bolts 74 ft lbs

This is from my Chilton Manual. Seems odd that the rear caliper would have less torque for the mounting bracket bolts. Could this be a misprint maybe??

Thanks man, much appreciated. I was in a bit of a rush to finish so I used valued from my old Volvo manual. Close enough: 75ft lbs for the caliper bolts, 85ft lbs for the lug nuts.

I refer to my Engineering Apprenticeship and 20 years designing automotive braking systems when the correct torque may be expressed as...

"Do it up a bit, then wank it up hard"



Many thanks to my former instructors for that advice 8)
