So, I searched around in here, and didn't see actual torque specs listed. I see it mentioned a bunch, but never actual specs listed. So, I need to do break job on my 2012 Road King, and I was wondering what the caliper bolt torque on the front and rear was. Seems like everywhere I look I see 25 to 30 Inch pounds for the pad retainer pin, but can't find actual caliper bolt specs. So any advise would be greatly appreciated.

 

2012 is:

Front 28-38 ft-lbs
Rear 43-48 ft-lbs

 

If you wrench, you need a factory service manual. ..cheap investment and chock full of info.

 

+1.. Yup. Get the book!!

 

+600 on the book.

 

It's very easy to break it if you over-torque it. LOL!

Definitely get the service manual. It'll save you a lot if heartache.

 

Thanks Guys, And I suppose I will get the book.

 

If yer gonna wrench on yer bike, it's a must.. Forums aren't a cheap alternative!

 

Use antisieze on those bolts. Otherwise steel or stainless into aluminum will bond and strip the threads down the road.

 

+1. There're a million opinions on use of Loctite v antiseize on things with crucial torque specs, like caliper fasteners. Loctite makes a version for mismatched metals, like SS or titanium into aluminum. That's what I'm using.
