New rotor and pads installation questions

[chicaboo]

Hey boyos,

I've got my new rotor and brake pads ready to go on, but I want to check some things with you gurus fist.

From my Googlies, Maddiedog says 31ft/lbs for the rotor botls (WOW!) and 44ft/lbs for the axle nut.
Since it's a sensitive part of the bike, can anyone please tell me the torque values for the caliper assembly?

Other than that, I think I just need to clean the pistons before pushing them back in before reassembly.
Is there anything else I need to know? Apply grease to the back of the pads or anything weird like that?


Cheese, Gav.

According to the 2013 - 2017 service manual, caliper pin, 13 lbs-ft (18 N-m). Axle nut, 44 lbs-ft (59 N-m).

Thanks. Does the manual have the torque settings for the two big bolts on the caliper?

Awesome. This is pretty much what Haynes recommend, too.
Except they also say to apply copper grease appropriately.
