Previous Owner is an idiot
He did not torque down the bolts for the front brake calipers. Both bolts became loose. One came out and let the caliper in the passenger front fall down into the rim and tear into the aluminum causing damage and a leak.
Was a simple fix but you can believe I called that guy up and chewed him out for it.

While I am more than capable of doing the job without the torque bar... I already have one so I might as well use it. If in doubt use a torque bar and the proper spec :)

Agreed. Always best to use a torque wrench. Which, given how cheap they are, I should probably get one from harborfreight in 3/8ths.

If I had done it by hand I would have EASILY broken them.
