Default Little help cleaning Brake Calipers

Hi All

Can someone give me the torque values for the caliper bolts and brake pad pins? My front brakes on my 02 RKC are squishy and after doing a search, I decided to start with the easiest suggestion first; pull and clean caliper pistons. Took about two hours I guess because I had to figure out how to extend two pistons at a time. Next time will go faster, but now I need to tighten and loctite all the bolts. Should Igrease the brake pad pins?

Thanks ahead for your help

Beary

I think you mean Inch-Pounds on the bleeder valve and pad pins. 100 Foot Pounds would snap that bleeder right off. 200 ft pounds is starting to get to what the crank is torqued to.
