Default rear click when braking

There are quite a few threads on this subject, but couldn't find what I wanted.

I get a click when I reverse then brake, and then another when I go forward and brake - just once per direction change. This is intermittent and only noticeable when parking at home. I suspect callipers or pads, but as it is at TGM’s next week (it's suspension/bushes/springs/money/painful time) I want to ask them to check this out and will ask he checks the rear wheel nuts are torqued correctly. So, what is the value he should use?

Found this the other day when looking for the damper top nut torque values. Not sure how reliable it is but it's definitely better than me guessing. I think americans refer to wheel nuts as lug nuts -

And then convert to english -

make sure the caliper bolt that goes through the carrier and joins the slider are still there. rock the caliper, if it moves you have lost a bolt.
