Anyone know the torque specs on the caliper bleeder valves - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm looking at powdercoating my calipers and I can get them done a very reasonable price if I can disassemble and re-assemble them.

One thing I've read about is that the bleeder valves need to be torqued on so I'm looking to see if anyone knows what the torque spec would be?

I found the following info on a 2002 Camaro but not sure it would be the same for the Brembo calipers on the 2010.

Brake Caliper Bleeder Valve
106 lb in

Brake Caliper Guide Pin Bolt
23 lb ft

Brake Caliper Mounting Bracket Bolt
74 lb ft

Brake Hose Fitting Bolt
41 lb ft

Wheel Nut
100 lb ft

I'd say 60-80 inlb should do just fine...
