Hi!
Anybody know the torque wrench settings for Cortina calipers, Transit balljoint, lower balljoint and Escort track rod ends?
Have a nice day!

Sorry Jonas maybe lost in the translation.
but the is an autmotive toque setting used by most mechanics FT does not really need a tourque wrench as it does mean 'Flipping tight' or
another swear work can be substituted .
basically lock it of as tight as you can get it using good quality bolts and tools, on your calipper bolts I would suggest a blob of tread lock ( i
didnt 1st time arround - but I did the second  )

ISTR the torque wrench setting is abou 60lbft for the calipers. Theres a stripdown guid for cortina uprights on my website, its got the info in. It
should also contain the info for the ball joint torques too...

Thanks for the answers and the stripdown guides!
I usually tend to overtighten the bolts/nuts if not using a torque wrench.
