Default Re: Help - Front Caliper Mounting Bolts

Either your torque wrench is not calibrated, or the haynes spec is a dry torque and you have used copperslip.

Should be fine with a helicoil, but it is a fine pitch bolt IIRC. Have you got vernier and a thread gauge? (I can measure mine if you don't)
