I recently did the LS1 front brake upgrade and noticed this morning that the top caliper mounting bracket bolt that attaches to the spindle had backed out. I have a helms manual for my 94, but don't know the torque specs for the LS1 bracket bolts.

Would anyone post the correct torque specs for the LS1 Caliper bracket to spindle bolts?

Thanks,
Steve

Thanks for the reply, I don't think I had tightened them anywhere close to 90 lbft. I'll be sure to use some locktite this time...

Thanks again,
Steve

 

I have never use a torquewrench on any of those bolts on any of my cars. I have never had any probs with them getting loose with or without locktite.

 

I had this happen to me last week. Lets just say when the bolts fall out, it is not pretty.
