The Honda Accord requires 54 foot pounds of torque for its brake caliper bolts. To loosen these bolts, you'll probably require a 13 mm socket wrench. It's crucial not to over-tighten the bolts as this can cause the heads to break off. The Accord's torque specification is higher at 54 foot pounds, unlike the average vehicle that typically needs between 24 to 36 foot pounds of torque.

Hey Drew, can you tell me where I can find the correct torque specifications for the caliper slider pins and bracket bolts on my 2015 Honda Accord EXL? I checked the user manual, but couldn't locate the information there. I also couldn't find it through a quick search on Google.
