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
