The bolts that hold the calipers to the bracket of the Hydrastar kit part # HSE7K-T1 should be torqued to 45 ft lbs. The torque for the mounting brackets to the spindle bracket will be based on the axle brand's recommendation for that. Dexter axles normally have a torque requirement for that of between 25 and 50 ft lbs.
