Rear caliper top bolt of slider, torque required

Hi all,
I replaced my rear pads (1.6 Auto MX3 1997my) at the weekend as one had siezed in the caliper slide and the pads wore unevenly (nowfree and lubricated)
.
The workshop manual I have was for the 323 and the calipers appeared to be different, only the top bolt was removable and I had to undo the sliding clip holding the brake hose onto the rear suspension, to allow the caliper to pivot on the lower pin and pads to be changed.

That all went well but I don't know the torque to tighten up the top sliding caliper bolt to.

Can you tell me the torque please.

You can access the manuals from the front page (www.mx-3.com) on the left hand side. It will be in there.
