You can get one by Hayes or Chilton, assuming pretty cost effective, at your local autoparts store.

I haven't purchased a repair manual since 2011 -maybe books aren't sold in stores too often now.

If you need the book once it should have paid for itself. Such as the 'goof feeling' of torqueing a bolt to spec. To me that makes me feel good about paying the $20 (or whatever it costs) because I'll eventually have another bolt to tighten. Or something to fix. When you have a book, you can get an answer more quickly than an internet thread. Sometimes. haha

2nd side note: Pay attention to the pads you remove from the front. They only fit a certain way and it's not uncommon to install them incorrectly.

Where did they come from? How does a person know that they are correct?

Came from a Chilton's manual. No Guarantees. YMMV.

By the way, I haven't been to the public library in over 40 years and found it interesting you can access this and many other repair manuals on-line with a free library card.

Chilton is a source, not really the best though, they mass produce and have been known to make errors. Here's a different number from an aftermarket manufacturer. Who knows. Don't forget the thread locker. Good luck.

Reinstall the original brake rotor, followed by the brake caliper. Use a small amount of the supplied thread lock compound on the caliper bolts and torque to 160 ft-lbs.

Thanks.

Looks like the 160 was referring to the front. 158 Chilton. Close enough.

You're going to use a torque wrench when putting the lug nuts on too, right?

ALWAYS torque my lug nuts. Only takes a minute and any good mechanic would.

I use a cross wrench. When they squeak they are tight.
