I am just about to replace the front rotor/brake pads on my 2001 Silverado 4WD 1500 4.3 liter PU. I have been looking around for the torque specs for a few of the bolts when replacing and am seeing so many different answers that vary greatly. Can someone either tell me or provide me with a link for the following items: caliper guide pin bolts, caliper mounting bracket bolts and the wheel lug nuts. Thank you.

Truthfully, I dont bother with a torque wrench when doing disk brakes. I just put some neverseize on the threads, high temp disk brake lube on the caliper bolts, and tighten it
down real good. Havent had a problem yet. I use an X-wrench on the lug nuts. Never had a wheel fly off yet!!

The wheel lug nuts are about 140ftlb, I'll look up the other specs and post, but they are less critical, the lug nuts are important as they can cause/prevent rotor warpage if not torqued property.

Here is a torque chart that might help you.
