Front caliper bracket to knuckle, 85 ft lbs. I also use a drop of blue "Loctite" thread locker on clean threads.
with a tool that looks like a cube and you attach to a ratchet
caliper piston does not retract with moderate C-clamp pressure - not willing to force it
caliper bolts are the two bolts that hold a brake caliper to the caliper mounting bracket. On both the front and rear of the vehicle (unless has rear drum brakes) the bolts have rubber boots around them working as slide pins.
Caliper front? Use a "C" Clamp Caliper rear? Threaded Need a special tool available at Sears or auto parts (Not expensive)
Replace the caliper and bleed the brake system.
there is a special tool that can be purchased at any auto parts store made specifically for compressing brake caliper pistons. I personally use a 4 inch c-clamp. works every time.

I believe that it is a T-55. A T-50 is just a tad too small.
with a c clamp. put a block of wood or your old pad over the piston and tighten with clamp.
You can find them at your local Pontiac dealers. They are really cheap.
Remove brake caliper and then caliper mounting frame . Rotor is now free.
