Default rear brake bracket

Built the rear and am putting the car back together.
I need the torque spec for the rear brake caliper bracket to rear end bolts. The service manual says 166 ft#'s but the bolt broke before I got there. I didn't reused the original bolts service manual says they are one time bolts, I used new bolts of the same grade (10.9)

I tried searching but it wasn't working so well.

I see this post is a couple days old but if you still need the info I can look it up when I get home. I reused my original bolts I cant see having to replace them. From what I remember it was around 70-80 ft lbs or so its the front ones that are a lot the fronts were 126ft lbs I believe. 166 is wayyyy too much for the rear ones.

I believe the caliper brakets are to be torqued to 74 lb/ft, and the caliper bolts are 23 lb/ft.
