I am putting new brakes and rotors on my 2012 F150 SCREW. To put the rotors on I have to take off the caliper anchors. Before I take off I want to know what the torque specs are for the bolts when I put them back on. I found front torque specs at 186 ft.lbs. I can't seem to find the rear. The rear caliper anchor bolts are smaller so I figured they might have lower torque settings. Thanks

The rear mounting bolts are the same torque spec for the mounting bracket as the front, according to several forums that quoted Ford manual specs. Some even say higher(206 ftlbs). Check out this link. http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/11...que-specs.html

Looking at the 2013 shop manual....



I can't imagine the 2012 being any different.

Thanks the 111 sounds reasonable. The rear bolts are smaller than the front so my gut was that they would be torqued at a lower rate.

Bumping a thread from the past because I ran into this last night. The rear caliper anchor bolts are NOT 184 ft-lbs! How do I know? Well my truck is currently sitting on jack stands because I snapped one and I am trying to track down a replacement now.

The rear anchor bolts are slightly smaller than the front and their correct torque spec is 11 ft-lbs
