torque specs - Land Rovers Only

I'm doing front rotors and pads for the first time on my 05 freelander se. I can't find a shop manual anywhere for it. The most recent manual available is the 03. All I need are the torque specs for the caliper bracket bolts, pin bolts and lugs. I was guessing 75, 25 and 100 ft-lbs. thanks

just tighten them up. nothing major.

the wheels need to be torqued to 100 lbs.

we use impact on them caliper bracket bolts.

the caliper just tighten with a wrench till tight.

whatever you do dont put anything but land rover approved grease on the caliper slides.

or else, their is a small package of the grease for about fifteen bucks that covers one apllication, its a special grease that wont cause the rubber to expand.

thanks. I've done brakes more times than I'd like to remember and almost never torque anything except for lugs when the rotors are free-floating. I never worked on a LR before so I figured better do it by the book. I'm having trouble finding LR approved grease. Usually I just use Permatex synthetic lube on pins but like you said I'm not sure if it will do any damage. Have to keep searching.
