what about the torque spec for the center bolt on the front 6 piston BZ-61. should i use loctite? high temp? any anti seize on the sides of the pads? would realy like a copy of the factory instructions. I just bought one of those manual copies on cb of the 18 manyal hope its in that one sense its not in the 17 for the J6H brakes.

Torque spec is 22 lb-ft for the bridge pin bolt (center bolt). Factory manual does not call for any, but you can use a small amount of blue (low strength) thread locker if you want. High strength will likely snap the bolt off inside the pin the next time you try to remove it since it's a pretty small bolt.
As Stephen previously mentioned, no grease or anti-seize is needed. Just take the old pads out and put the new ones in. For factory manual process, the how-to guides on the forums do a pretty good job of covering it. Nonetheless, basic steps are:

don't overthink this process...it is absolutely the easiest pad swap ever. Watch orientation of the spring as it has an arrow pointing up. 13mm for the bridge bolt. Don't over torque the bridge bolt as a few have snapped it. Make sure to crack open the master cylinder reservoir before depressing the pistons and replace one pad then the other. Don't remove both pads as the pistons will block the path for the new pad when you depress.
