I cleaned the threads with a tap & die, applied blue locktite and set the torque to 30Nm. Jules |

Im not sure why they say to use new bolts for the FL2 - they're not stretch bolts and these didnt have Locktite on them. Ive never replaced caliper bolts (unless severely corroded) - just cleaned them (the threaded ends often go rusty as they stick out the other side of the hub) and added new locktite. Jules |

Yes, in the past Ive replaced pads which came with new caliper to carrier/ sliding pin bolts - cant remember which car it was though.
