Brake job questions
Hi all!
Putting new front pads and rotors on tomorrow.
What are the torque specs for the caliper carrier bolts?
Bleeding order? RR,LR, RF, LF?
Thanks!

I didn't bleed my brakes when I changed my pads. Open the brake reservoir cap and if it's full remove some of the brake fluid. When you push the pucks back in, the fluid is pushed back into the reservoir.
Audi topped off my fluid at the last service. I usually don't top off the brake reservoir between pads changes because a low level means that the pads are worn. My previous cars didn't have brake pad sensors so a "Brake" light on the dash was a reminder to check the pads.
The torque on the bolts that hold the carrier to the wheel bearing housing is 144 lb/ft. The caliper to brake carrier bolt torque is 22 lb/ft.
Here's a link to a good DIY brake write up.
