Doing front wheel removal/tire change. One of the caliper bolts heads rounded and I was unable to remove caliper from fork tube.
Resulted in being necessary to split caliper (no no per manual) to get bolt removed.
Need correct torque value on bolts that hold two halves together.
Thanks, Alan

Removing the front wheel and you "rounded" a caliper bolt? My calipers are attached with Torx screws.....did you strip one? I dont understand....

Round torque bolt result of earlier dealership work.
Have manual, aware of published torques.
Need torque value (or guesstimate) for bolt s joining the two caliper halves.
Thanks, Alan
