Brake Pad Replacement Questions (1 Viewer)

[LCH21]

I have a couple of questions on replacing the brake pads on my 2021 HE.
I have found that the correct torque for the front caliper bolts is 133 lbs. I can't find anything for the rear bolts. What would be the correct torque?
Several YouTube videos mention breaking the bleeder open to release the brake fluid when compressing the pistons as not to damage the ABS system by forcing the fluid back up through the system. Others, including The Car Care Nut make no mention of doing that. I have not done that in the past and never had a problem. Opinions?
Thanks.

70 lbs rear caliper bolts, 65 lbs rear pin bolts. Never cracked a bleeder. Just take off the reservoir cap and key an eye on in between doing each corner incase it raises too much and remove excess.

Agreed. Three or four sets of brake pads on mine and I’ve never opened a bleeder for that part of the job.
