Rear Brake Caliper Mounting Bolt Torque

[vettenuts]

Hi,

New to this forum and Jeeps. My daugther has an 03 Liberty that I now have up on blocks. It appears the rear caliper pistons stuck and ground the pads right into the rotors. Does anyone have the service manual that can provide me with the torque value required to install the rear calipers. The bolts are fairly small so I don't want to over tighten them.

Thanks

Yup, this is common with libbys. Did you have to replace the calipers?

Sorry but Idk the torque values...

Yes, I am replacing the calipers as well. I have found some Federal Mogul rebuilds that offer a metal piston to replace the phenolic one, which should help with sticking in the future. New Bendix rotors will go on as well. She spoke to Jeep about it, they admitted to the problem but the dealer was absolutely useless as was the case with the Jeep customer service.

"11 foot pounds"

That is for the front.
They don't list Ft. Lbs.
This is what is listed: Caliper Mounting Bolts Rear 25 N.M. — 220 In. Lbs.
