Brake Torque specs for 2008 C1500 Suburban, 2WD

[alchemist]

I need the torque specs for front and rear brakes, for the caliper brackets bolts (mine are 18mm) and the caliper pin bolts (mine are 13mm - you must hold the slider with a 20mm open end wrench to remove and install the caliper pin bolt).

 

Lastly, thinking the torque spec for my 17" 6-lug wheels (22mm nut) is 140 ft. lbs.?

 

Thanks

Wheel lug nut torque is 140 lbs-ft as you thought. .

Thanks. How about the other values?

Thanks Nitro,

I didn't read this till I had finished my work, but I guessed pretty close. I was just doing the rears, and mine is the 1500.

 

I went with 30 ft. lbs for the caliper pin/bolt and 130 ft. lbs. for the bracket bolts so that was good. Admittedly I was a little north of the 122 ft. lbs., but I saw several posts on Youtube (shameless experts there) that swore by 130. Either of those values seemed a little high for an 18mm bolt. Lots of torque wrenches aren't calibrated frequently anyway, and shoot, 122 ain't that far from 130.

 

These Raybestos R300 rotors are fantastic. No more warped GM rotor crap. And went with the ATD series (ATD-1194C) ceramics. Can't tell you how happy I am with this setup. Will be doing the fronts next weekend.
