2003 Explorer brake caliper torque specs.

Does anyone know the torque specs for the front brake caliper bolts for a 2003 Exploder? How necessary is it to get these numbers exact or simple "close enough" by feel? I am trying to avoid buying a $90 wrench if I can. Thanks!

Just tighten them like you would any bolt so they won't come loose no real need for a torque wrench there. Not like a cylinder head or something like that you'd want all the bolts tightened evenly.

Correct, tighten them like you wouldn't want them to come off.
