Rotor bolts

Post by jasondo »

What type of lock-tite should I use to tighten the bolts. Also what is the torque required for the rear rotor?

Torque is 40 nm. Don't think lock-tote is called for.

jasondo,
Use the "semi permanent" Blue Loctite. No heat required for removal, just extra removal torque after it has cured.

Because of the tremendous rotational back torque and varying heat cycles, it is not a good idea to omit the Blue Loctite.
