Default What's the torque spec for rear caliper bolts on 2000 Boxster 2.7 ?

Can someone tell me the torque spec for the rear caliper bolts on a 2000 Boxster 2.7L ?

I need to install new rear pads this weekend and I don't have a shop manual yet. I suppose I could just give them a good tug like I would do on any other car but this is my porsche and I'd rather do it by the book !

Thanks in advance,

Tom

On Brembo brakes you do not need to remove the caliper to change the pads.

Even on the Non S cars ? I didn't realize the standard boxsters had Brembo brakes.

No wonder the car stops so well. My Ducati racebike has Brembo calipers and rotors and they have awsome feel with racing compound pads.

All Boxsters have Brembo brakes. All you do is remove a retaining pin and the pads pull out. Pads on a Boxster can be changed fast.
