Brake torque specs

[CrowndLegend]

I could only find rear brake caliper and bracket torque specs for a 2015 silverado crew cab. Are the torque specs the same for the front? Thanks.

Front caliper to bracket bolt - 74 ft.lbs.

 

Front caliper bracket to knuckle bolt - 170 ft.lbs.

 

Rear caliper to bracket bolt - 38 ft.lbs.

 

Rear caliper bracket to axle bolt - 148 ft.lbs.

Thank you 15HDriver for the front specs, greatly appreciated.

Doing my break job this upcoming weekend.  Searched for this....  Thanks again buddy.  Can't believe the front caliper pin bolts are 74Lbs!

  He is referring to caliper mounting bolts, not the sliding caliper pin bolts!    I think those sliding pin bolts should only be tightened snug.  I assume that these are floating calipers.

I always make the caliper brackets VERY tight, and I use medium strength Threadlocker / Lock-Tite on them. The caliper pins need to be reefed down pretty good, but nothing extreme. Just make sure that everything is tight enough that a 10 year old kid would not be able to break them loose with a standard ratchet. Both of those items have large bolts, and its pretty unlikely that you will strip them.

I followed his torque spec and it worked out.  74 foot pounds for the bolts connecting the FRONT brake calipers to the caliper brackets.  And 170 foot pounds for the bolts connecting the FRONT brake caliper brackets to the steering knuckles.  Worked out perfectly fine.
