Brake caliper torque

[Bugman.dave]

I don't suppose anybody knows what the torque is for the bolts holding the front brake calipers on a FORD Taurus is? I'm suppossed to change the brakes on my fathers car as a Father's Day Gift,....

As tight as you can get them

Just crank 'em down until the feel good and snug.

same TQ spec i used on my rear brakes earlier

are you talking about the caliper to bracket, or bracket to spindle. i just did a brake job on a taurus a couple days ago, i believe it is 65ft-lbs for the bracket to spindle and like 18ft-lbs for caliper to bracket. i believe autozone has the torque specs on their webpage.
