What is the torque for the caliper mounting bolts?

Rear caliper should be tightened to 100 Nm (74 lb ft) and turn the bolt 60 degrees. In the engine world, TTY fasteners allowed for smaller fasteners while improving clamping loads. It took engine builders a while to recognize these types of fasteners.

How tight should caliper bracket bolts be?

Because caliper bolts MUST stay on, they need a LOT of torque. AutoZone, for example, recommends 113 pound feet of torque. To put that number in perspective, the average person can, according to NASA, apply about 15 pound feet with a bare hand.
