Just fitted my Pagids for this weekend. Anyone know the torque settings for the top bolt on the rear calipers? Wheel nuts as well?
Cheers

From s2 manual...
wheel bolt - 105Nm
not sure about the rear calipers... may be this?
upper m10 bolt - 45-50Nm
Lower m8 caphead - 26-30Nm

No I had staff for that, if I needed a bolt doing up I got a man to do it for me who (allegedly) knew what he was doing
Very rarely saw a torque wrench unless something had fallen off that week

DO NOT do up the S2 wheel bolts any more than 105Nm or you won't get them off again!
As for the caliper, tight will do

3 white knuckles and 2 beads of sweat.
Basically don't use WMD on it and just pull it tight. Hard to describe but it should not feel like anything is flexing or about to break! Don't use big ratchets etc where a small one will suffice.
There is quite a range between undoes-itself-cos-it's-too-loose and breaks-something-cos-it's-too-tight. Anything in between is basically ok.

They just don't want me to make them all look bad
That or they read SE2
The Victorians didn't have fancy torque wrenches

I'm with rich here. Torque wrenches mean you need to read the manual to check the torque in the first place - too much like work.
