This may or may not help in your research but bolt torque is an indirect measure of bolt stretch.

When I worked at Elliott TurboMinchinery. On some applications, we measured bolt/stud stretch. On others. We installed the nuts hand tight. Then heated up the bolt/stud up. Then turned the nut so many flats to set the torque. We also used a HydroTorque wrench. Which is a hydraulic wrench. You set the torque by how much hydraulic pressure you have at the head.

Hope they do. Told them i was planning on powder coating their uncoated caliper and need to disassemble the calipers so we'll see.

I know this thread is really old, but I have the definitive torques straight from Akebono USA.

Front Caliper 17mm bolts: 69.2 - 93.6 Newton meters (51 - 69 ft-lbs)
Rear Caliper 14mm bolts: 32.0 - 43.3 Newton meters (24 - 32 ft-lbs)

This falls in-line with what I previously measured.
