Hey Guys,

Got an 07 who's front brakes are really bad. Front right caliper seized over heating the rotor and warped it bad. Tried grabbing a Haynes manual at local auto parts stores but no luck for the 335xi model. So I found a manual on DVD online but it's going to take a few days to get here and I'm taking off front wheels and brakes now.

Anyone have a manual already handy who can give me the torque specs for the replacement caliper installation and wheel lug nuts? Thanks in advance.

BTW anyone have these DVD sets? Looks really nice but price is crazy cheap. Hoping it's not a scam

I would advise obtaining a Bentley manual for your car if you're going to attempt repairs personally. these manuals can be bought directly from Bentley Publishing, but many can also be found on Amazon In the $100 range. Bentley manuals are the best bet for information you want.

front pad carrier to steering knuckle 81 ft-lb
rear pad carrier to wheel bearing carrier 50 ft-lb
brake caliper to pad carrier 22 ft-lb
brake fluid hose to caliper 18 ft-lb
brake fluid hose to steel line 9 ft-lb
road wheel to hub 87 ft-lb
front bleeder screw 9-13 ft-lb

I may get that manual. Found those when searching. I really like the DVDs though because you can search on the computer really fast for stuff. I have similar stuff for Fords. They call it TSO.
