Mo Murphy Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I can only find the torque setting for the metric bolt. The imperial bolt is a bit smaller so I'd imagine has a lower figure. Anyone know what it is ? TIA Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 my Defender workshop manual & the haynes book both say 100Nm or 74lbft for caliper to swivel housing bolts. no mention of imperial or metric bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Thanks Ralph, Hmmm, this gets confusing now because Rave says 82 Nm or 60lb/ft. This is in the 300 manual so for a metric bolt. The imperial is, I think a little smaller at 7/16 unf. Dilemma ! Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 the figures I posted are for Defender upto & including the 200Tdi with rear drum or disc brakes. for RRC rear calipers it says in RAVE 82Nm, if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Thanks for that again, Ralph, I didn't put the RRC bits of Rave on my comp I'll go for 82 NM Than. Thanks again Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
