caliper rebuild

just completing new brakes. is there a torque figure for the hex bolts? in exploding the caliper halves to replace seals & pads, it took all my weight to 'break' them apart. now i am wondering if there is a minimum for the pressure the pieces exert..? i've seen in this and other areas where the factory put together the machinery with higher torque than listed.

this was meant as a rebuild thread, but didn't say so.
does anyone know the torque required on the front 10mm hex bolts, and rear 6mm hex bolts for these calipers?
