What should torque be for rear brake pads?
What should torque be for rear brake pads?
2011 shop manual says 129 lb-ft for the bracket bolts (bracket to car). 47 lb-ft for the Brake Caliper Guide Pin Bolts (caliper to bracket). I just recently changed my rear brake pads on my 2009 traverse. I read on another thread that the torque settings for the rear caliper pin bolts should be 20 ft lbs.
What happens if you over torquing a caliper bracket?
Not properly torquing the caliper bracket bolts: Not all caliper bracket bolts are the same. Torque ranges can vary from 30- to 110-ft/lbs. Also, some bracket bolts can be torque-to-yield or require liquid tread lockers. 7. Over torquing the caliper guide pin bolts: Caliper guide pin bolts typically need a 13mm wrench to remove.
What’s the torque range of caliper bracket bolts?
Not properly torquing the caliper bracket bolts: Not all caliper bracket bolts are the same. Torque ranges can vary from 30- to 110-ft/lbs. Also, some bracket bolts can be torque-to-yield or require liquid tread lockers.
How much of the brake pad is left?
When the brake pad wear indicator comes on in the car, there is still 40% of the pad left (see picture). Mine came on at 59,000 miles. The rear calipers do not require the special caliper tool which rotates the piston in order to compress it.

Where are the rotor pads and calipers located?
The master cylinder converts mechanical force into hydraulic pressure using pistons and seals in a housing usually made of aluminum, with a plastic fluid reservoir mounted on top. The calipers are mounted over the rotors and contain one or more pistons that apply the pads in response to hydraulic pressure.
