[xj-s] help with torque values for front brakes

XJ-S
1

Hello everybody, I just changed front rotors and pads on my 89 xjs
and I need some help with the rotor to hub and upper and lower
caliper bolts torque values. Having not worked on the car for at
least a year, I can’t locate my jaguar ‘‘litterature’’, searching the
forum and the book didn’t turn anything up.Please help.
Also, Mintex brand pads came with the brembo rotors. are those pads
a good choice? If not, can you suggest alternatives?
Thanks in advance.–

Hello:

Thanks Odysseus!
Rotors and pads are on the car, wheels have been rebalanced. No
more shake nor brake pulsating.
Next: high and low pressure power steering hoses damaged during
install of new tower-rack seal (which by the way is still leak-free
after 6 months.)–
The original message included these comments:
