2010 ford ranger front brakes

What is the torque recommendation for the front brakes

 

[sgtsandman]

Slider bolts or bracket bolts?

 

[Rich 2957]

The nut that goes on from the outside

The nut that holds the bearing in

I take it you have a rear wheel drive then? Someone will come along with the info on the spindle nut torque. I think it’s torque to a certain speck while seating the bearings then back off to a lesser torque but it’s been a long time since I worked on a RWD.

The spindle bearing? Preload while spinning the rotor till the rotor has some decent resistance, then back off completely and tighten to 12 INCH pounds not FOOT pounds. Specific preload torque is arbitrary since the races are already seated. You just wanna insure the rotor is seated on the spindle then set the spindle nut torque.

Thank you ?

Check for play when your done. If necessary you can go up to 22 inch pounds. The old school trick is to tighten by hand as much as possible then 1/16th a turn more using a wrench.
