Rear Disk Brakes 89 GQ
G'day
I have an 89 GQ TB42, it has rear disk brakes which I recently installed new pads. The lower bolt that you remove to swing the caliper up, broke when putting back in (didn't even get any tension). I am making an assumption that it was an old bolt, been tightened too many times (I may be wrong). I have purchased a new bolt (cost $26 + postage) and want to find out the correct torque. I have the "Nissan GQ Patrol Y60 1989 - 1997 Factory Workshop Manual", and the image for the rear brakes is not quite the same as on my Troll. My model year is 7/89, I'm wondering if this model is covered by an earlier Manual. Pic's attached - "DSC 0105" is actual, "Brake" is screenshot a Nissan dealer sent me (which reflects my brakes, but couldn't get torque setting) and "Rear Brakes" is from my manual. I have been told by everyone just to do it tight, but not too tight. It would be great to get the correct torque, if anyone can help.Brake.jpgDSC_0105_2.JPGRear Brakes.jpg

How did you break that bolt? It only required mild tightening according to my experience with them.

according to the pic you got there 31 to 41 nm
i'd go 40 nm you don't wont them coming loose.
tight with a 1/2 inch ratchet is usually good
if its worth doin its worth over doin

Isn't that the sliding pin bolt? It's not the caliper mounting bolt, or is it?
