I need the torque specs for front brakes on 2004 honda crv 4wd?
So the other day, I was changing the front brakes on my '04 CRV, right? I thought I had everything under control, but then I realized I was missing the torque specs. Classic move, huh?

If anyone has the right specs handy, I’d really appreciate it. One more thing, do you guys think it’s safe to reuse brake hardware?
