Torque specs for rotors?

shorty5198 · 11-12-2006, 06:08 PM

Well i just ordered my new brembo drilled rotors and Project mu Titan Kai pads. I am going to be installing these myself but i'm not sure what all of the torque specs are. Anyone know? Thanks

No torque specs... your wheels hold them in place... so I guess 67ftlbs for the lug nuts.

use the german method: good-n-tight.

i torque my wheels to 75-80 just in case.

you probably need the torque spec for the calipers though. i don't remember off the top of my head though.

155nm or 114.3ft-lbs

OR, you can use the blue loctite and use "lots of force"

thats what I do, because i dont have a torque wrench that will fit there.

yea, i have a "sort" one, but its not short enough.

true story. blue loctite is good stuff, my car might as well be covered in it.

155nm is more torque than a lot of people can apply to a 3/8in ratchet anyway.

You can get a 3/8ths ratchet in any length that you can get a 1/2in or 1" ratchet. You can also add any length of pipe to help.

are you serious?!?!?! I had no idea!!!

My point was that you're not going to be able to over torque the nuts.
