    Brake Caliper Rebuild

    Follow up: Everything completed as above. Also used red, HIGH TEMP loc-tite. Multiple trips, hard driving, braking, long downhill grades, etc... Not one drop leaked so far and the brakes function better than they ever have. Hope this helps anyone considering this task.

    4x4 labs rear bumper

    About 5 years ago, I got a bumber from 4x4 labs, drove up to have it installed... Ladder was incorrect (accidentally made to 60 dimensions) and, within about 3 hours, Luke had the thing re-cut, re-welded and re-powdercoated to make things perfect. Been awesome ever since. Mistakes...

    Help with bearing evaluation...

    that pit is a ding from the brass punch used to knock them out (my mistake). does not affect the movement at all. that is how the metal of the cage was when I originally got the bearings...not pitted at all, more like the design of the metal from casting or something.

    Brake Caliper Rebuild

    All parts were cleaned, rust removed, new rebuild kit. used "green grease" which is a synthetic waterproof grease. maybe keep the rust down. going to reassemble and torque to 61 ft lbs. will report back if there are leaks, etc. thanks for the input.

    Can't find my FSM...Torque spec help, please...

    how do we know that by "diameter" they mean the head and not the bolt itself... that is where the confusion lies for me.

    Can't find my FSM...Torque spec help, please...

    Found my FSM and the torque for a "14 mm diameter" flange with no markings is 61 ft lbs. Does this mean the diameter of the actual bolt or the head? Because, if a 14 mm head has a 10 mm bolt, the torque is only 21 ft lbs, and that does not seem like enough for a set of calipers.

    Can't find my FSM...Torque spec help, please...

    not what I need right now, but perfect for tomorrow...thanks!

    Can't find my FSM...Torque spec help, please...

    it is a 14mm head... about 3". there is no torque spec in the manual for those bolts because I was not supposed to split the caliper. so, I just need the standard for that bolt, then I will crank it up a notch or two since it is a brake. I have them at 70 ft lb now and they...
