    Hello everyone- new and excited to be here. Trying to replace brakes on 2020 Tundra.

    Everywhere i look it seems like i find different torque specs for front/rear caliper bolts on 2.5 gen Tundras. Does anybody know definitively what these should be torqued to on a 2020?

    Thanks.
    Vlad

    Thank you! You guys threadlock these or just torque? (Also seems like that thread suggests new bolts, a step which i might skip)

    I haven't change the brakes on mine yet, but I will be very shortly as I have everything to do front and rear. But I don't plan on using thread lock, I'll just torque to spec and I don't plan to change the bolts. As you can see from the thread above there are varying opinions on what people do, some use loctite some don't, some torque to spec some don't. Just do what you are going to feel most comfortable with.

    Too many mods to come

    I added thread locker to mine for my use case especially.
