| Brake disc bolts are 42 N.m or 31 lb-ft according to my manual. These OEM figures may not apply to stainless bolts which I suspect are supposed to be lubed before insertion and which will affect the torque values. |

| This makes interesting reading - I looked around, remembering something a very knowledgeable member of the X9OC said when someone asked about replacing brake-disc bolts with stainless ones (he was not in favour):
