Brake job - torque specs
I will be replacing pads and rotors sometime in the next week on my 2003 F-150 FX4 5.4 Supercab.
Anyone have torque specs on the caliper/caliper mounting bracket bolts?
Or do most use the "tighten as tight as you can" spec?
Thanks for the help.

Use a 3/b rachet and a 13m socket, i beleive, and just snug them up. I worked at a ford dealer for a while and they don't use torque specs. Do not overtighten them though cuz there isn't much to screw in to. You'll be able to feel when they're tight.
