I was wondering if someone could tell me the proper ft-lbs of torque for the two front caliper bolts that mount the 4-piston calipers for a 97' LS400.

LS400

FRONT

Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the precautions in the beginning of this section.

Remove the front wheels.

Disconnect the brake line at the caliper.

Remove the 2 bolts to the holding the caliper to the steering knuckle and remove the caliper assembly.

To install:

Install the caliper. Install the 2 bolts and torque to 87 ft. lbs. (118 Nm).

Connect the brake line with 2 new gaskets and tighten the union to 29 ft. lbs. (39 Nm).

Refill the reservoir as necessary and bleed the brake system.

I can confirm that dfkd is right on the money!

According to the 1997 Lexus LS400 Repair Manual (page BR-16), the correct tourque for the two bolts of the front brake caliper is 87 ft-lbf.
