Default Torque specs for brakes

I'm changing my front and rear brakes today. Does anyone know the torque specs for both the 2 large bracket bolts and the 2 smaller caliper pin bolts?

Thanks,
Mark

I am about 90% sure its 85 ft lbs on the large ones and 15 ft lbs on the smaller ones....I dont have my haynes manual in front of me, but that sounds right.

Just did this myself!

Front: 85 ft-lbs for brake caliper bracket (large), 25 ft-lbs for caliper bolts (small)
Rear: 79 ft-lbs for brake caliper bracket (large), 24 ft-lbs for caliper bolts (small)

Link above gives great write up and illustrations
