Required Torque for Front Brake Caliper

I'm replacing my stock front brake pads with some EBC HH pads.

The Clymer manual says to remove the caliber from the fork and
re-attached with the torque mentioned in Table 1.

Unless I'm just missing it, I don't see a torque value for the brake
calipers to the fork.

Anyone know what the correct torque is?
Any comments on EBC HH pads?

Thanks,

i didn't torque my caliper when i had it off the bike..just make sure that it's tight but not so tight that later you want be able to take it off...

i don't see the need to torque it to the proper specs

30 to 48 NM (newton meters) my haynes manual says. I just like to know the bolts holding my front brake are on tight and safe! :) but without tightening them overtight, as with a long torque wrench you can still strip threads, even on large bolt holes.

Try about 40 Nm, thats what i do when im changing my pads/  :cheers:
