I'm going to replace the rear brake pads on a 2001 Olds Alero. I have the
2001 GM Shop Manual (from Helm) and there is a big discrepancy on what it shows for the torqe for tightening the rear caliper bolts. On page 5-84 under the heading of "Brake Caliper Replacement - Rear" is says tighten the caliper bolts to 81 lb-ft. However, on page 5-91 under the heading "Disc Brake Hardware Replacement" for the rear caliper bolt it shows 33 lb-ft.Does anyone have a newer manual that only shows one value? or have any experience to know which one is the correct value?
Thanks,
Jim
