Hi Guys, I replaced the front wheel hub on my Dad's 2002 2wd Blazer. I accidentally removed the slider pins to take off the caliper instead of the mounting bolts to the knuckle. I have a Haynes manual, but this particular one is horrible for this vehicle. I can't figure out what the torque settings are for the slider pins.. And I want to make sure I have the right mounting bolt torque settings too.

All in foot lbs:
Using the Haynes manual for 4wd caliper settings it said 85lbs for the bolt to steering knuckle but I couldn't find the caliper to caliper slider bolt one. I torqued it to 37lbs for now. But the rears are set to 23lbs, and are single piston.

Also, the wheel hub was set at 77ft lbs. Can anyone verify these torque settings?

Thanks!

 

One torque value is correct, one is incorrect, and the third is missing, (pretty normal for Haynes). The pages are good for a bird cage liner before you toss 'em out Here are the specs straight from the GM "dealer issue" shop manual:
Caliper bracket to knuckle bolts (dual piston front caliper): 133 ft lb
Caliper guide pins (dual piston front caliper): 85 ft lb
Hub to knuckle bolts: 77 ft lb

 

Wow that book was way off. And this is for 2wd? I don't want to break these bolts off so I was worried abput these settings.

 

Those are for dual piston calipers, which I believe yours has.

 

Yea they are dual in the front. Okay thanks a lot. Better get those torqued down more. I haven't had many issues with Haynes until this car. Horrible.

 

not that you know of anyway

 

Lol yea. Scary!
