Spent 9 months torquing by feel, then a $22 wrench changed my whole brake job
I used to slap caliper bolts back on with a regular ratchet and guess at the tightness, and after two loose bolts on my truck last winter I finally bought a click-type torque wrench and started looking up the specs for my 2014 Silverado. Turns out GM calls for 122 ft-lbs on the caliper bracket bolts, which was way more than my arm was giving them, and the pedal has felt firmer ever since. What torque spec did you guys get wrong early on before you started checking the book?
