Rear Seatbelt anchor bolt

Front seatbelt Buckle Bolt

Front Seat anchor bolts

Quick verification needed, I see the rear seatbelt anchor is 41 ft/lb but in confused on the front driver side lap seatbelt anchor bolt. Is it 30 ft/lb and you just didnt type the whole word seatbelt or is that the actual seat anchor bolts listed as 30 or can the front seatbelt buckle bolt torque be used for the lap belt anchor?

Reason I ask is im installing a schroth quick fit pro harness and it lists 30 ft/lbs for both front & rear seatbelt anchorbolts which i think is wrong (not enough tq).

Front Seat bolts holding it to the floor are 30 lb ft.

Front Seat Belt Buckle Bolt mounted to the side of the seat is 35 lb ft.

Front Seat Belt Retractor upper and lower bolts on the B-Pillar are 26 lb ft.

Rear Seat Cushion Bracket bolts holding to the floor are 18 lb ft.

Rear Seat Belt Buckle Bolt mounted underneath the seat is 41 lb ft.

Rear Seat Belt Retractor bolt is 30 lb ft.

Hope this clarifies!

If this is still being maintained, I didn't see the numbers below:

Front caliper bleeder screw (RS vehicles): 146 lb-in
Rear caliper bleeder screw: 106 lb-in

Is this correct? Sounds way too high.

Yes, should be correct. Just did mine yesterday and no issues with these numbers. I think note the units, lb-in and not lb-ft. Here are my notes:

Torque specs for bleed screws:

11mm (or 7/16") front screws torque to 19Nm (14 lb-ft aka 168 lb-in)
10mm rears to 12Nm (9 lb-ft aka 106 lb-in)

Edit: Adding paste straight from the shop manual:

as someone who’s about to do their first brake job is there happen to be a diagram somewhere to make sure I’m aware of the right bolts and screws? Assuming the brake bracket bolts actual back one that’s hold the cal in place, then the brake pad holding bolt is the one through the middle, correct? And the bleeder screw is for both inside and outside bleeders right?

Sounds like you have the right idea. 2 bolts hold the caliper to the hub. Take those out to free up the caliper. 2 pins need to be removed with a punch to get access to the pads. The pads are held to the pistons with some adhesive, so just peel off. Push the pistons back into the caliper, put new pads in, and reinstall the rest!

There are 2 bleeder screws on each front caliper. Only 1 bleeder screw on each of the rear calipers.

Do I need adhesive to put on the new pads? If so, recommendations?

In an attempt to not derail this thread, shoot me a pm if you still have questions. Also plenty of threads and videos out there on RS brake jobs!

When it doesn't have a unit of measurement next to it is it FtLBs or LB in? I'm confused. Thanks you.

If you look at the original table, all the units are in ft-lbs unless specifically stating in-lb next to the number. The units (ft-lb) are shown at the top of the value column.

It's in the OP list under "Crankcase Vent Separator Plate Bolts." So it's 89 in-lb.

Hope this clarifies!

Hi, great job with this list, its very useful to have all of the torque values in one place.I was just wondering if you could confirm the value for the front retractor upper and lower bolts on the B pillar is correct - 26 lb/ft seems a little low?
Did you get these from a service manual?

Caution: the conversion from lb-in to Nm in the manual is incorrect for the front ST and RS bleeder screws. I've checked on 2 independent sources and 146 lb-in equals 16.5 Nm, and 115 lb-in equals 13 Nm. I would definitely not use the higher incorrect Nm value for these.

I personally torque the RS at just 11 Nm with some anti-sieze; add 25% without anti-sieze = 14 Nm. From past experience with Brembo's... I'd rather deal with some weeping from the bleed screw than deal with a stripped caliper. I think even 16 Nm is too high.
