Car Forum / Ford / Ford Explorer / June 2005for Jim Warman, a bit OT
Hey Jim, not an Explorer question, but rather about my 2000 Ranger 4X4..I've been using a Haynes manual for repair procedures, recently put new brake pads on. The manual listed 38-44 Ft lbs for caliper bolt torque spec, this setting broke an old bolt, and a new bolt too. Must be a misprint. Can you tell me the correct torque spec? I tightened them to 20 ft lbs, stopped there as I didn't want to break another bolt. Also, any recommendations for a more accurate brand of manual? Thanks a bunch!

Yeah this happened to me too with a torque wrench I bought off of ebay. Torque wrenches need to be recalibrated regularly. Snap On recommends every 30 days. If you drop them you should send it off for calibration.

Ford WSM (workshop manual) lists the torque as 21 - 26 ft/lbs.
