tokico caliper question

[Once a Warrior]

there are four button head bolts holding the front caliper together. I would like to remove the bolts to polish the corroded bolt heads or if they won't polish i would replace them. Can I take them out one at a time without messing up anything or affecting the o-rings inside and then replace them one at a time? also, what is the torque spec? thanks guys.

Yes you can, but they are a pain to do if you are holding them. I don't remember the TQ value, but what you are saying is easily done.

Yep - like MC said, PITA to do if you're holding them. Keep the caliper mounted to the bike and remove one at a time. Torque to 7.0 lb-ft

Yep, I did the same...took it a step further; painted the calipers, too. Of course, I had to remove the, disassemble, mask, paint, etc. I did mine in the winter time when I wasn't riding.
