Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hello all! I’m preparing myself to replace the
front rotors on my 1997 Mitsubishi Montero
Sport XLS. This vehicle is a V6 3.0L with
independent front suspension. I’m very weary
of this job, but I need to know the torque
specs for the rotors. I cannot find a single
answer.
Thanks in advanced!

I'm not sure what the torque is either but I never used a torque wrench on my brakes. The caliper mounting bolts require more torque than the smaller caliper bolts. Get bigger mounting bolts definitely tight and then the smaller caliper mounting bolts tight but don't over tighten you can feel the torque. Usually tight and 1/4 turn more but always use common sense. If your worried about the bolts backing out use thread locker to prevent it from happening. Torque wheels if steel rim 80 ft lbs and aluminum wheels to 100 ft lbs.
