Good tutorial, too bad the tightening torques are missing. Well done to the author anyway

Very well done tutorial. One remark however: We can see the presence of a thread lock on the screws holding the pad holder. The screws are not cleaned and no thread lock when reassembling. Personally I would use some and I would look at the tightening torques in the technical review. Best regards
