brake replacement
I'm having a difficult time finding vital info regarding specs needed to do maintenance on brakes. Does anyone know the actual torque specs for the front brake caliper bolts and caliper slide bolts? Both bolts need to be removed to replace the pads.
Also, what is the minimum pad thickness for the front pads before replacement is required?
Did a search but didn't find this info.
Thanks in advance for anyone who can enlighten me on this or provide the actual replacement procedure with specs.

Too technical for me. I changed my brakes on my clk500 3 times and my e550 once. I just torque arm strength and use blue loctite. Also you’re worrying about pad thickness? Just change it if you feel like it, or wait till the light comes on.
