Hello!

I've searched everywhere and even called a Ford dealer with no results. I have a 2017 Ford F150 Raptor and am getting ready to do a brake job. I'm looking for torque values for front and rear caliper mounting brackets and for the bolts that secure the calipers to the brackets. Does anyone possibly have this information? It would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

 

Side note: I think you have electric parking brake -if so you will need to know how to put it in service mode before doing rear brakes.

 

Nope. Manual parking brake. Thanks for the reply. Do you happen to have Ford's torque specs?

 

Probably the same as all F150's over the years. My 2003 manual says 21-26 ft-lbs for the caliper bolts, and 136 ft-lbs for the "anchor plate" bolts. I think that they have an 18mm head. That's the fronts. Might help if you called the big ones anchor plate bolts. That what Ford calls the bracket.

 

No sir I do not have torque specs.

Just this "about as tight as they were to remove".

I couldn't recall which model year and vehicle had electric, maybe the 2.7 2017 did. Either way, not important to you.

 

Thanks. I had a 2013 Raptor and that was 158 ft. lbs. if I remember correctly. Pretty sure its more than 136? I found a reference that said 122 as well. Sheesh. Really would like to torque these to recommended numbers. I was hoping someone had a service manual for the 2017 model year.

 

I'm pretty sure some of the 2018's had the electric e-brakes. Not exactly sure when they came in either.

Thanks. I'm fairly certain that's how most folks (not excluding dealers) torque these. I like to torque things like brake parts properly. Have the tools, Why not do it right. Hoping someone else with chime in with definitive numbers.

 

Torque values usually are set by the bolt size, that's why I mentioned bolt head size. Your higher value might have been a bigger bolt. Good luck.

 

I got a cheap manual on eBay but there are other sources. If you like to do things by spec then owning a Ford service manual is the way to go.

The company selling those service manuals appears sketchy to say the least. Anyway, hate to buy one when I'm not sure how much use I'll get out of it. These torque specs are the first thing I have not been able to find when wrenching on this truck. (And my previous one.)
