I need to know the torque specifications on the caliper bolt of a 1998 Buick Century. I can't seem to find the information anywhere, nor a guide to replace the front brakes and rotors.|||50 foot pounds is more than adequate if you coat the threads with Never Seize.|||well i dont think there is a specific torque for the slide bolt just get it tight so it wont back out and changing disc brake pads is easy just take the cal loose and use a clamp to press the piston back in using to old pad to press against and replace the pads like they were and put the cal back on if you are worried about the backflow of brake fluid you can open the bleeder while pressing the piston back in once you get it all back together you should start the vehicle and press the brakes a few times untill they stiffen back up and be sure to check the fluid level as it will have changed from the pressing of he pistons and bleeding and repressurizing the caliper|||Honestly, ask any tech that and you will get this answer. "It's tight". Most just zap them in with an air ratchet or gun, or just crank down on them with a socket and ratchet.
Otherwise a GM service manual or possibly a Haynes manual on the car (around $20.00 at most auto parts stores) may have it.
The Haynes manual will give you step by step instructions, and photos.
Piece of cake to do it. Take you time and do one side at a time, so you can look at the other side if need be. Make sure you use the new spring/rubbers etc that may come with your pads. And don't forget the silencer glue for them.|||Tighten the caliper bolts to 85 Nm (63 ft lbs)
