Tighten
Tighten the front brake caliper mounting bracket bolts to 225 N·m
(166 lb ft).
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the brake caliper guide pin bolts to 31 N·m (23 lb ft).
Tighten
Tighten the wheel nuts in sequence to 140 N·m (100 lb ft).
