2001 Ford Escape Brake Caliper Torque Specs In 2001, Ford debuted the Escape SUV, which sat just below the Explorer in the automaker's lineup. The Escape had the huge task of taking on the likes of the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CR-V, so it needed to have a similar range of options as them, including V-6 and four-cylinder engine options, and two- and four-wheel drive. Regardless of engine and drivetrain setup, the front and rear calipers on the 2001 Escape shared torque values. Caliper Torque The front and rear caliper bolts on the 2001 Escape require 26 foot-pounds of torque. The front caliper bracket-to-spindle bolts require 111 foot-pounds of torque -- the rear brakes do not have a removable caliper bracket.

2002 Jeep Cherokee Brake Caliper Torque Specs When repairing a vehicle, torque values are sometimes overlooked, and this is when the "that's tight enough for me" approach comes into play. Engineers didn't spend countless hours determining the correct torque for each bolt and nut on your 2002 Grand Cherokee for no reason. These torque values take into account the strength of the fastener involved, the amount of pressure put on the fastener and the amount of vibration it must endure in daily use. Few fasteners on your Grand Cherokee take more abuse, or are more critical, than the pins and bolts that hold its brake calipers in place. Caliper Torque The caliper-mounting pins on the 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee require between 21 and 30 foot-pounds of torque. The caliper bracket bolts require between 66 and 85 foot-pounds of torque.
