I'm doing the knuckle/brake upgrade on my 92' today with parts off a 2000 Metro. I need to know torque specs for: - Caliper mounting bracket to knuckle (not the caliper slider pins) - ball joint to knuckle bolt Thanks! Dave (BTW, has anyone seen balanced rotors on the metro? Do they come balanced from the factory?) |

Hiya, not totally sure if these are the right specs that you need, but looking at the Hayes manual.. it gives "Knuckle-to-control arm pinch bolt" 44ft lbs and "Caliper mounting bolts" 20 ft lbs or 30 Nm |

Thanks, the pinch bolt is what I want. The caliper mounting bolts though isn't the same as the caliper bracket to knuckle. I think I found a link that said it was 51-72 ft lbs for the caliper bracket |
