Thanks Rusty. I saw some other posts about just using the bolt size/specs to look it up, which puts it ~91 ftlbs. So...say in changing my rotors I accidentally loosened the caliper half bolts and saw some brake fluid leak slowly. I didn’t have the fluid cap off and tightened it up within a minute or so, and didn’t see any more leaks. This was all before I used the caliper piston press tool, etc. Should I be OK?

You should be ok. I can't find my notes on the torque specs right now. The torque spec is lower than 91 lbs I believe. To find the torque spec. You have to use the bolt body diameter, not the head size.
