Default Reinstaling caliper ?



<FONT size=2>I just finished painting my front calipers and was wondering when I reinstall them, do i need to tighten the screws at any specific pounds of pressure or just tightening them by hand is enough.</FONT></P>


Thanks</P><edited><editID>gio_09_75</editID><editDate>38016.9352430556</editDate></edited>

Technically they have a foot-pound torque rating, but I just tighten until they're good and tight and I've never had any problems. Depends on how picky you are.
