Brake pad change question
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.

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... |
