mfg Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 The torque that should be applied to the three 3/8" bolts which hold the brake caliper adapter to the Studebaker/Avanti spindle is..........1) 40lbs........2) 50lbs or....3) 75lbs ? And as an aside,.....These bolts should be checked for tightness occasionally.....they have been known to loosen up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
