    Our history page shows the part number did change in 2017 for the calipers.

    I'll try to compare the 2 one day and see if they're interchangeable. But that's likely not gonna happen til the spring.

    It's not a suspension part so you don't have to go crazy with it. I normally just tighten by hand and then lightly tap the wrench with a hammer.

    Keep in mind I don't know what I'm doing. I currently have over 200k miles on my 2014 Mirage.

    I replace the brake pads every 100k miles and recently replaced the rotors at 200k miles.

    The plan is to keep replacing pads every 100k miles and to not worry about the rotors again unless the car reaches 400k miles. Should the car live long enough, I will have the original rotors turned and will put them back on the car at 400k miles.

    I don't torque slide pins, either. They don't see any kind of load, nothing is actively trying to loosen them. Just use a standard wrench or 3/8" ratchet (not a longer 1/2" ratchet, or a 2-foot breaker bar), get them snug, and then "just a little more". Caliper mounting brackets, on the other hand... those, I will torque to spec.

    That said, the FSM says 32 +/- 4 ft/lbs. (search the forum, you'll find the FSM... that's where I got it from, and I keep a copy of it on my desktop)
    Simplify and add lightness.

    Thanks stevedmc and Loren. I was going to guess 25 ft-lb , that's around what they were on previous cars.
