2015 Focus front disc brake bolt torque

Hello

This has been asked and answered before, but I can’t seem to find a definitive answer!

I have a September 2015 (Mk 3?) Ford Focus diesel estate. I’m planning to replace the front discs & pads.

I tried searching for the recommended torque for the calliper bracket bolts but found lots of different answers. So far I have

80Nm + 1/4 turn, 100Nm, 125Nm and 175Nm

Which, if any, is correct? 175Nm is suggested more than most, but it seems very high to me & I’m worried about snapping a bolt or stripping threads.

Could someone please let me know the correct value and ideally the source, e.g. Ford workshop manual?

There is better agreement about the calliper slide bolts at 28Nm and the wheel nuts at 135Nm.

Many thanks.

    Caliper bracket to wheel knuckle = 175 Nm.
    Caliper sliding pin to caliper bracket = 28 Nm.

    Be aware that these bolts are installed at the factory with Loctite. Excessive force may be required to remove the bolts.
