Default Brake Line torque Spec

Hey guys,

Currently re-installing my brakes after a full removal and paint.

I have found all of the torque specs for the brake install minus the flange nut for the brake line on the caliper side?

I found 11 ft-lbs for the lexus ISx50, but they aren't Brembos

Do you mind sharing the other torque specs? I could not find the caliper mounting bolt(s) spec.

off the top of my head it was 59ft-lb for the main caliper mounts, and 27ft-lb for the caliper cross member bolt.

How was it removing the brake lines? Did you just unhook it from the caliper and plug it with a screw to keep it from leaking?

I used ear plugs to keep the brake line and bleeder screw holes from leaking.

pretty simply task, and bleeding our brakes with two men is a 10 minute job (if the car is already up on jackstands)

For the bleeding I used hand pump kit..speeds up the process big time. The 2 man methods was moving really slow for me..
