I'm swapping out the gray calipers to red, and am in need of the torque spec for the caliper mounting bolts. While I'm here, is there anything else I should know about?


THANK YOU in advance!!!! :cheers

I haven't read the section or done the work, so not certain if there's anything else unusual about the process. I'm sure someone will chime in.

EZ swap, no surprizes ..... I went from red to gray!

How about Gray on one side & red on the other? :lol

Why stop there? How about a different color on each wheel! I think I have seen a yellow caliper on someone's car. I say black, yellow, red and gray all the way around.

good n tite also works on those caliper bolts. Most importantly, I would not let the MC drain low enough to let air in from the top side of the system. I've had a hell of a time getting air out of the ABS systems in mustangs. Not sure about the GT's in particular
