so i've searched on here and even googled it and can't seem to find the exact answer. i'm replacing the front rotors and i basically need to know what the torque specs are for the front 6mm rotor bolts that screw to the wheel.

thanks in advance.

You need a service manual. They are available through getting a Red R or you can search for a few that people have posted as torrents. Let me look it up for you.

According to the manual, the rotors arent part of the torque specs. Do you mean the rotor or the front axle? Or are you talking about the caliper bolts? I think you may be confused, either that or Im not looking in the correct place.

thanks for all the input.

no i don't know who justin is...haha. i don't think?

but if it is 16 lb/ft, can anyone confirm this?

i mean the 6mm allen bolts that bolt the rotors to the front wheel. not the front axle or caliper bolts. there are 5 on each side and i know you're suppose to use loctite on them.

you guys think i could get away hand tightening it? cuz right now i don't have access to a torque wrench but my arm/hand torque wrench pretty much knows how tight 16 ft-lbs is. pretty much i know to use loctite and tighten it down in a star pattern.
