I've looked the 'net and seen torque value settings for 2006 Acura TSX rear brake caliper bracket. I've seen 28 ft lbs, 54 and ???
The fastener head is 14mm.
Thanks in advance!

Misprint - no way those are 28 ft-lbs.
I agree, 28 ft-lbs has to be a typo. I admit I have never used a torque wrench on caliper bracket bolts though. I estimate usually 60-ish ft-lbs using a long pattern box wrench, gun, or 16" ratchet.Misprint - no way those are 28 ft-lbs.
It seems low but who knows,I just posted the info I have but I personally cannot verify it. So what is it?Misprint - no way those are 28 ft-lbs.
The diagram Trav posted is referring to the thread, 10mm or "M10". A 14mm hex head is typical for a Japanese M10 fastener.The bracket fastener is a 14mm head
The caliper bolts are 12mm; I torqued them to 17 #ft. Not much...The diagram Trav posted is referring to the thread, 10mm or "M10". A 14mm hex head is typical for a Japanese M10 fastener.
Personally, I'd retorque those in 500 miles or so for peace of mind. Probably can do it with the wheel on. 17# is pretty light.The caliper bolts are 12mm; I torqued them to 17 #ft
The FSM and Chiltons manuals also call for 28 ft.-lbs. for my 2003 Element and 2002 Accord which use the same bracket bolts.Going by that can be a huge mistake, a lot depends on what material the threads are in and how many threads there are. The info from TSX club is from the FSM, I would dive deeper into it before dismissing it as a misprint.
I appreciate your pushing me to look further. Not sure why I did not see this before; it actually was found under rear brakes and rear suspension. I am a prouct of CA education; you cannot expect me to read...That looks right.
