I am rebuilding most of the front end on my QC truck.
After read and watching video's on how to rebuild the front calipers I decided to give it a try.
I had a spare set of calipers that I split in two, and took them sandblaster and powder coater, and they came
out great. I will post picture soon so you can see.
I have a couple questions:
1. Where or what are the torque specs for the five (see picture #3 and #7) allen head bolts?
I looked everywhere in the service manual and it never says, however it does point to these allen head
bolts. I searched Youtube to see if anyone had the answer, but no one says what it is.
2 - I ordered the caliper pistons and seals. Why does the manual say there is two different sizes? The kit
I got were all in original Mopar boxes and they all have the same part numbers for both piston and seals.
Anyone know?
Torque specs:
- Brake line to caliper: 20 ft lb - page 5-243
- Mounting bolts 24 ft lbs - page 5-243
- Dual brake half tube - 145 in lbs (12 ft lbs) - page 5-242
- Five bolts holding the two half calipers together - Unknown - Unknown
