Torque is 25.5 lb-ft for larger caliper mounting bolts. Do not put grease on the threads. Put a bit of anti-sieze on the body of the bolts to prevent corrosion. Torque is 11 lb-ft for smaller retainer pins. I put a small amount of grease on the smooth area of the pins to allow the pads to move freely.
Hi i know this video is quite old and no one will probably see it but i have few questions. Is it a must to grease bolts? Can i do this job without torque wrench? What was the cleaning solution you used?
I just copper grease the bolts as a matter of habit, just makes it easier to remove when you want to next time. There will be torque settings but dont use them, I just go as tight then just an extra nip up for good luck (just keep in mind you are going into alloy). You will know when its tight enough and you will get a feel for how hard they were tightened when you loosen them up when you start the job. I used brake cleaner but the solution in the bottle is just a soapy water mix to loosen up the rubbish. Hope that helps.
What happens if there’s not enough clearance between the pads to slide the rotor in? Do I push the pistons in? If so, do I open the brake fluid reservoir cap?
Yeah push pistons back in, use the old pads so you dont scratch the new ones, you will need to open the reservoir due to the pressure, be careful it doesn't overflow as the brake fluid will damage your paint.

@@renitententity2086 got it! Thanks for the video!
I do the lil grease to never had a issue
Yeah its worked well for me, no squeaks :-)
What’s brand of the brake pads please?
EBC dude, go to 3:31 in the vid and you can see part number too, are you changing yours? if so hope it helps.
