Hello Gentlemen,
In my other thread, I am fitting 2021 PPV spec 6 piston front brake calipers and rotors to my 2013 Escalade ESV. I was searching for the correct torque for the caliper mounting bolts. The GM bolts are part number 11546469. These are spec'd for 2021 PPV calipers. They are M14x2.0 thread pitch, 40mm long.
I am now concerned, because in my seach I tripped over a reference to 59 ft lbs then an additional 35 degrees. Implying these bolts are Torque To Yield.
The stock 2013 2 piston caliper bracket mounting bolts are GM part number 11612265. They are M14x2.0 thread pitch, 45mm long. These are not Torque To Yield. According to AllData, they get torqued to 148 ft lbs.
Now, this is just speculation, but the 11612265 bolts are black oxide coated, while the 11546569 bolts are a dull silver (zinc?) coated. On some of the GM vehicles I have worked on, Torque To Yield bolts are this same dull silver...
So, does anyone know:
-the correct torque spec for 2021 PPV 6 piston caliper mounting bolts?
-are the 11546569 bolts Torque To Yield?
Thank you for your time.
