Got the main bolts to 90#, it's the other bolts I can't find the specs for. Flare wrench? Do they sell these at Harbor Freight?
Edit: I see they do sell flare wrench sets at HF...off to the store!

Yo flock of seagulls, you should never need to torque those caliper assembly bolts. Did you remove them? Based on their size, I would torque them to 40lb/ft and call it good.

you may also want to use some heat on the brake fitting to help loosen it. personally I wouldn't go with the harbor freight line wrenches, id spent the extra money and get something name brand
Critical connections should not have any debris, including paint, so wheel, caliper, etc, mounting surfaces should have the paint removed, be clean and naked.
Ok...fluid leaking out of HP fitting. Is 22 ft lbs correct? I did install new copper washers, but had to remove and reinstall...does this mean I need to install new ones again?

ive found that sometimes the replacement crush washers with aftermarket washers are too hard to seal and generally suck, there pretty much flat washers with a skim of copper on them. id stick to the factory crush washers as they are softer and seal better.

Anyone know the torque spec for these caliper bolts?
Also...I can't get the damn brake line off. Is there a trick? Trying to turn this bolt, but it's friggin tight and starting to strip. Any tips?
