2Car Pros,

Can you tell me the torque specs for the front caliper bolts and the caliper bridge bolts for the 2007 Mazda 3i? So far,my web search is drawing a blank. Also, can you recommend a good DYI repair manual for this model? Haynes does have one and I haven't found a Chilton's one for sale, either. Mazda Owner in Atlanta.
