I found the answer here, but I honestly didn't believe it. I thought the 80lb/ft was WAY too high but I was wrong.

Thought work I have access to a maintenance database so I researched it and, as penance for not trusting you lot, I decided to post it.

It says for models 09-11 but that's just for the return spring.

I did learn about a few grease points I wasn't aware of. And the fact there's something called a "Banjo Bolt".

 

80 is about par for course for those type of bolts. I think our old PT Cruiser was 75ft-lbs, Mom's accord was 80.

 

Which is the 80 ft-lb bolt? I see it in the diagram, but what does it fasten?

 

it attaches the caliper bracket to the wheel knuckle. so its important for it to be tight
