Torque Specifications

Rosenick · 04-07-2006, 02:59 PM

I am planning on replacing the rotors on my 2004 impala SS. Can anyone tell me the torque specs for the caliper bolts and lug nuts? Your help is appreciated.
Thanks

Lug nuts 100, caliper bolts or caliper support bracket?

Double check on the caliper bolts can't see that small bolt at 70psi, I never tightened them past 35-40.

trust me I have every single service manual from 98 - 05 for GM cars, it is 70 ft/lbs... not psi.

here is the page for it.

Yup you are right, just got lazy and inattentive on the psi note for the torques settings, my bad.
