[QUOTE="jrgoffin, post: 11557316, member: 4360"] Once again, it is obvious that the caliper attaching bolts, when you buy them new (if you want OR need to), come with loctite. If Ford didn't feel that the bolts in question needed a sealer, then they wouldn't have it on there in the first place. If you choose to skip a thread locker on critical brake or suspension parts, then more power to you. If the service manual(s), whether they are in book form OR on the computer (yes, some of us also have both), post a CORRECT torque spec, ignoring it is idiotic. The original issue isn't that they NEEDED to be replaced, it was that they were loose in the first place. Nowhere did anyone go on a rant about doing a complete brake job with a stipulation that the caliper attaching bolts had to be new. Still, makes me glad I do all the work myself: thorough AND correct. [/QUOTE]
