I’m going to replace my brake pads soon and want to know if it’s necessary to replace the brake caliper bolts when changing the pads. I’ve seen conflicting reports of some guys replacing them and some don’t. My car only has 650 miles on it.

Didn't change mine, have maybe 6000 miles and all good.

If someone replaced theirs and has a part number/s I would appreciate if you can post them.

I didn’t change bolts. Just re-torqued without any extra turns.

Thanks, I was just hoping that someone on here might have PNs.

I have a ACDelco digital torque wrench that turns off on it's own to conserve battery (Idiots). By the time I set the value and got the wrench on the bolt it turned off and I couldn't see the display so was unaware. I was tightening the bolt and waiting to hear the beep but there was none. I'm pretty sure it was over the req'd torque so I'm not sure if the bolt got stressed. If it wasn't for something like the brakes I wouldn't worry about it. But...

What are the torque specs for the front and rear bolts?

On the standard brakes (not certain for CCBs), it's 95 Nm for the front and 35 Nm for the rear.

Thanks guys, got the front pads on super easy. One question, is my brake sensor on the right way?

That looks like it can only go in one way, so looks right.
