Thanks, closest I see are either 1995 or 1998 model year.
I imagine the torque specks in the '98 would be the same as the '97 unless there was some big change.

Keep looking. '97 is in there somewhere.

'96 and '97 do not have any entries. I guess '98 is probably about the same though.
Just needing torque specs for the various bolts/nuts for hub/rotor install.

Haven’t looked in awhile, but I don’t think they’re in order. 1996 was added later, 97 might be too.

Here is what I see. Not a big thing though as I think the '98 is basically the same as a '97. Gets me closer at least!

Thank you. I search for various 1997, 97 etc. and just too many responses to make any progress.
Was going to go back and go page by page but hadn't had time yet.

Thanks again for all of the advice.

Hub bolts on order.
Any real reason not to go with the basic rotor from the local O'Reilly's? Good price and warranty.

Still looking at calipers. I think I have a sticky one. Is the conventional wisdom still to stay away from remans?

I find better deals online, usually.

Most calipers are rebuilt. New aftermarket calipers are a relatively new thing. I think I'd rather have a rebuilt original part.

If you've got a sticky caliper you may be able to easily fix it yourself. There isn't much to them.
