Replacing Rotors: What do I torque it to when I put the new ones on?

what do i torque it to when i put the new ones on?

You dont torque down rotors... The wheels and lug nuts hold them in place when torqued down. Only thing you may want specs for is the caliper and caliper brackets..

A five second search on google and i came up with this.

+Replace the caliper mounting bolts and tighten them to 30 foot-pounds with a torque wrench and a metric socket.

+Torque the front lug nuts in a crisscross pattern to 80 foot-pounds with the torque wrench and a metric socket.
