They say to replace because the bolts come pre-coated in thread locker. If they were torque to yield it would say 136 ft/lbs + 90 degrees. There is no angle specified because they aren't torque to yield.

I checked OPMustang and they are out of stock as well. Looks like no one has the Caliperfexion studs at this moment.

I ordered from them. It said they were in stock and then it canceled the order automatically after checkout saying they were out of stock. Lol

That’s lame

The caliper bolts are not hollow, I cut a groove into one to use as my thread scraper before installing my Caliperfexion bolts.

While it's possible GT350 and GT500 caliper bolts are the same, when the latter has a larger diameter rotor I have to wonder. I guess I reacted fast enough to have gotten the Caliperflexion studs, but as I recall, they were car specific when I ordered, but can no longer confirm. Reading the instructions for the Caliperflexion brake studs indicate the studs for the GT500 are longer than the GT350 and not to mix them as follows.

Caliperfexion front brake caliper stud kits are designed for specific applications. These instructions show images of brake hardware for the GT350/GT350R. The installation process for our GT500 stud kits is identical (including torque figures). Note - the GT500 studs are longer than those used on the GT350/GT350R so do not mix the two and be sure to order the stud kit appropriate for the vehicle you intend to install them on.

If someone bought the OEM bolts for the GT350, you might want to compare it to what you're removing from your GT500. Using shorter bolts than what came on the car would be a mistake.

They are different and not interchangeable from what I remember. That’s why they sold them as separate kits and not as 350/500 kits.

Thanks guys. There is also a caliper bolt for rears that attaches to spindle . Is that the same torque spec as well?

There’s absolutely no need to remove your rear calipers when changing pads. You just tap the pins out, remove the spring, and the pads slip out through the top.

They're only one time use because the bolts come from the factory with a variant of loc-tite pre-applied. If you clean them off and clean out the bores and apply your own blue loc-tite then you can re-use them no problems. They're not torque-to-yield bolts regardless of what some internet poster or youtube video says. The bolts would rip the threads out of the aluminum knuckles before they yielded.

^This. However if you’re dead set on replacing them they are about $15 from the dealer.

Hi.I’m looking for digital manual instructions for replacing my brake pads for ceramic ones.Any chance you can send it to me?Thank you

Search for Autofanatic GT350 brake pad replacement on YouTube. It’s the exact same procedure.
