Funny because I have changes pads and rotors my entire life on all vehicles and I always forget how dirty brake dust is and how much of a pain caliper and bracket bolts are. Oh, getting a seized rotor off sure is fun too even with a torch and 5lbs. hammer.

Finally have everything off and painting calipers tomorrow. Need help with a couple questions:

1. What is torque setting of caliper bracket bolts?
2. What is torque setting of caliper bolts?
3. Do you put anything on the hub prior to installing rotor? Anti seize? WD40?
4. Anything on hub after rotor is on before spacer or wheel?

1. What is torque setting of caliper bracket bolts?
2. What is torque setting of caliper bolts?
