Just bought at set of cheap Autozone rotors. How important are the torque specs on the rotors? Just want to play it safe since these things are kind of important.

 

You talking those little philips head screws?

Dump em. The lugnuts will hold the disks on

Lugnuts = 80 ft/lbs

 

i think it's like 7 or 17 ft/lb... just hand tight on the rotor screws...

 

remind me not to ride with you anytime soon!

torque 'em to 80

 

Those are the screws that are like 7-17 ft-lb. The lug nuts are 80. And don't throw the little screws out... put them in, and tighten them. They are useful, especially if you don't take your wheels off often.

 

Do I have to come over and show you how to do it again? LOL

j/k bro, I think you misread my post.....

 

Those screws are just something to cause problems when you want to remove the rotors. The rotors will stick to the hub after they've been on for a while. After you've had to drill out one screw you'll never put them back. If you really have to use them just use one and don't tighten it at all. Barely hand tighten them. They suck.

 

Those screws do suck... I have to hammer a screw driver into them, then turn the screw driver with vice grips while pushing in as hard as I can to remove them! Hate those things ...

Or... pound a small phillips bit into the screw and then turn with a 1/4" socket

 

You need an Impact Screwdriver
