Does anybody know the torque wrench setting for the bolts mounting the front caliper to the hub?
Cheers

Well Vangough has an SLK230, but am pretty sure he has either a 190E or C180 as well

I'd set them at the same, that's a pretty middle of the road torque for a brake caliper.

sound advice is that you should always replace the caliper bolts as they are normally "single use". they cost pennies and it's worth it for the peace of mind
