I am in need of some torque values:

1) Screw that holds rotor on to hub

2) Caliper bolts

3) Brake wear sensor

Thanks

when i did my brakejob, i did everything with hand tools.

-the brake pad sensors can be popped out with a flathead screwdriver.
-the allen key that holds the rotor to the hub may be stuck tightly on from rust and corrosion; so you may need to break that one loose with a hammer rachet (tool that you hit on the head with a hammer to achieve incremental turns, they're like $8 at an auto parts store).
-caliper bolts i also did with just a hand rachet, those shouldn't be too bad to get off, but you can always slip a small piece of pipe over the tool to make it longer, for extra torque so you dont bust your knuckles trying to loosen them up if they're extra snug ;)

hope that helps!
