This is on a 2022 Civic Sport Hatch, but apparently I don't have posting privileges on the XI forum.
I've been asked to help paint brake calipers. VHT paint has been selected. First off, has anyone done this without disassembling the brakes, just masking everything off? Planning on the calipers and mount. If the consensus is take them apart for a decent outcome, does anyone have the torque specs for front and rear? Anything special I need to know, like any torque to yield fasteners that need to be replaced? I'm assuming the brakes are the same, or close, to a tenth gen Civic, unless someone enlightens me. It seems Haynes doesn't have manuals for newer vehicles, does anyone do manuals anymore? Thanks for any help.
