quick question: can anyone confirm the torque settings for my SD's Brembo front brake bolts? The Service Manual says 45Nm... which seems like a lot to me.

cheers in advance.

Ps: i've swapped from brembo pads to Ferodo - not as good as EBC, nor as pricey, but better than the OE - if anyone else has used the same i'd be interested in hearing how they perform?

i didnt think 45nm was enough when i did mine. took a lot more than 45nm to get them undone!

collar bolt front/rear brake disc m8x1.25 locktite 243 30kn.
front brake caliper bolt m10x1.25 locktite 243 45kn.

these are taken from the rear page (81) of the owners manual. 30/45kn in aluminium is pretty tight. don't shear them off.

cheers for that Vertigo - same values i had, just thought i'd check as they seemed high.
