As I understand from Bentley that the bolts securing the brake housing to the spindle frame MUST be replaced once they have been removed. AND they are to be a self locking type bolt. According to the Bentley those bolts get 200 ft lbs of torque. Am i misunderstanding all this. And thats a hefty torque setting for any common torque wrench. Whats the common shop practice on all this? Thanks! John |
