    Sorry, I just went and checked mine goes nowhere near, and I agree 230Nm seems VERY high.

    If yours goes to 200, I would set it for that then 45 degrees on top.

    The torque settings for the brakes etc are as follows:

    a: Rear Caliper Slider Bolts 30Nm or 22lbf ft
    b: Rear Pad Carrier Bolts 130Nm or 96lbf ft

    c: Front Caliper Slider Bolts 30Nm or 22lbf ft
    d: Front Pad Carrier Bolts 230Nm or 170lbf ft

    e:wheel nuts 110Nm or 81lbf ft

    Have you tried a hire shop mate if you were closer then Glasgow you could have borrowed mine but the south coast is a bit far.

    I did my front discs and pads,did'nt bother with Torq Wrench,in fact iv'e never used one,and had no trouble at all,just thread lock em and use a longish bar to tighten up.and long as you dont go mad,they'l be fine.

    The correct torque is 230Nm, but as Macdad says, loctite and a bar will nip them up enough. I too have done thousands of sets of pads/discs and never used one yet. But it is of course, best practice to do so.
