    How much torque and what loctite for bolts that holds the rotor center to the rotor?

    Does anyone have any clue about the torque that the bolts that holds my rotor center to my rotors should be tightened with? Anf also what loctite that might be suitable for the task?

    The centers are from Touareg and the discs from RS4-b7. So bascially standard stuffs.

    Maybe I have asked this here before in some thread or some of you guys... But if so. Please answer here to. =)

    A couple of pictures so we talk about the same thing...

    Center (in my hand =)), rotor (on table) and bolts on the top right corner:

    When connecting bells(centres) to discs(rotors), the torque value I used was always quite low, something like 13-15Nm, I'm sure Bry or Corey will have more exact figures

      Hey Eric.

      Oh... That's low. Really thought it would be harder. But on the otherhand it's "lock nut's". Do you use any loctite? Do you reuse old bolts and nuts?

            So no words on loctite or reusing old bolts and nuts?

              I didn't use new bolts/nuts on mine, though I did look around for a kit , readily available in sets of 24,16 from places like compbrake and a few others , never used any loctite either
