Started the brake job today and believe it or not 122k and they still had life on them. While trying to gain some slack I stuck my screw driver into the caliper piston boot.. great... so I bought another caliper. I was checking wheel bearings as I went.. driver side felt good.. probably needs changing later on but not bad at all. Got to the passenger side.. HORRIBLE.. So I went and got a new wheel bearing assembly.. NOT cheap. So now I am stuck with some questions. I need the following tq specs and I am getting conflicting online. So am coming to the forums for help.

Wheel lug Tq 20" ecoboost wheels off a 2014
Tq for the calper
Tq for the metal piece that holds the caliper. (This removes so you can get the rotor off)
Tq specs for the back side of the new wheel bearing.


Thank you for any help!!! Im covered head to toe in crap trying to get this thing back together. That jacked up wheel bearing explains the low speed howl.

well, I didn't see any specifics for your truck.....But for my 2013 f150 4x4 this is what I have

caliper.... 27 ft/lbs
caliper bracket.......184 ft/lbs
wheel bearing bolts.....129 ft/lbs

I would think its the same for all years of this generation...

It does seem high... but thats what my book says.

Personally, if the drivers wheel bearing is anything but perfect, I'd change it now and be done with it. If it has any detectable roughness or rumble, its condition is going to deteriorate fairly quickly. Yes they're expensive, but so is a tow truck.

Just got this truck and dropped almost $500 into it.. I will go back in a month or two and do it. it feels solid.. the other one however had free play I could move it up and down. Im sure the driver side is going to go eventually but for now ill let it ride. I'm glad I got this truck super cheap and it looks like its only a couple years old.

Well my TQ wrench goes to 150 so guess ill hit it with that and a tad more.. thinking back those bolts were pretty damn tight.

Stupid question but these trucks use a normal type of brake fluid correct? Just Dot 3?
