In doing my yearly maintenance routine on the old Targa, I created a cheat sheet of frequently used torque values to print out and keep in my pocket as I'm working around the car.

After doing the more mundane jobs a couple times, I realized I wasn't checking the various documented procedures much, but was having to interrupt my work to go find a torque value or thickness of a new brake pad. This solves that little problem and lets me work a bit more efficiently.

I thought it wouldn't hurt to share and may help others work just a bit faster as well.

Oh, and use at your own risk. It may not be accurate for your car, etc, etc.

Nice. I keep a similar one on my garage wall with the tire pressure and wheel nut torque values for all our vehicles (wheels are swapped for winter tires twice a year).

Thanks Matt!
How's the OLD Targa working out? Need to get together for a pleasure drive!

Thanks,

Could add Brake Caliper to Wheel Carrier (M12 replace) 85Nm (63ft-lbs) need to remove when replacing rotors.

You're welcome! How's that polar silver coupe with the ridiculous Rod Birch sound system treating you?

Thanks GAV. I've added the torque value for the axle plate screws, as a TSB recommends checking those every time the car is in for service.

Great idea, although no way am I walking into a tire pressure debate on Rennlist! I'll keep those in a private document

It's 20 yrs young and just about at 140k miles. In other words, it's perfect.


It's not quite 911% material, but hey, it serves a purpose. Great job on the channel, by the way.

Thanks guys!

Good call. While I don't expect to remove calipers all that often (haven't done it yet on the car), I may add it soon. I've caught that DE bug that's going around and I hear it's hard on rotors.
