Sorry about the confusion.  I mentioned in my original email that these are the Teves calipers.  These do not swing up for pads.  Instead, you drive out two pins and just lift the pads out.


I like Joel's idea of replacing and checking the torque of all 4 bolts in light of the oversight.  I plan to do the front bearings this Winter, so I might do that then.  In the meantime, I was able to track down the part # of the single bolt from my handy dandy ETKA CD.  Funds are kind of tight for us now, anybody with a torque wrench near State College, PA?  Or should I just do the Muir method?


Thanks again,


John Haddad
