Any idea what the torque settings are for the front and rear brake calipers for a 2009 G6? There's two sets of bolts for each wheel. One is for the caliper and the other is for the caliper bracket. The bolts for the caliper bracket are different sizes for the front and back brakes. The caliper bolts are the same for both front and back.

Thanks in advance,

Retired Bill

Hey check nappa auto parts online or auto zone when you look up the rotor and brake pads it will have a little info about the "Do it your self brake job"

Dont take these as exact but the caliper bracket was around 96LB and the caliper was in the 36LB range but i would deff check those as its been a couple of months since i did my brakes.

I know some one else has done brakes any help here LOL

I have replaced my front brakes, but I used the "Good and tight" method, but don't strip them! Sorry I torque my wheels and torque motor bolts, but I'm a shade tree mechanic so what do I know.

Thanks! Before taking the bolts off, I used a torque wrench to tighten the already tight bolts, changing the torque settings until the "click" stopped and the bolt tightened. The torques came to 85 and 35 ft/lbs. So you were right on!
