I just got my disc brake backing plates and caliper brackets back from the plater. I'm getting ready to install. Does any know the torques specs for
1)Single upper bolt which passes through the backing plate and caliper bracket. It threads into the spindle.
2)2 lower bolts with stover lock nuts. They go through the spindle and attach the arm which outer tie rods connect to.

From my chassis service manual, I gather 120 ft/lbs for #1 and 85ft/lbs for #2.
Is the correct?

I used an impact gun on mine. Have not had any problems with them loosening. I just made sure that The tabs were locked into place on the upper bolt.
