Anyone know how hard to torque down the break caliper mounting bolts?

I am not near my manual/CD. However to get you an idea, my 97 T-Bird has a torque of 20 for the calipers. Not sure if it will be similar to the Pony, but I have notice a few things are similar between them. Maybe this might be.

note* Most repair shops dont use torque wrenches.

But when doing it yourself it would be nice to know the proper pressure.

Kinda makes me nervous. Glad I do things my self.

I took my T-Bird in once for brake work. Later when I needed to replace the pads, I found out the guy had used thread-lock (or some type of glue) on the caliper bolts. It wasn't fun trying to get them off.
