RXX Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I am about to replace rotors, but can't find the torque values in the service manual. Any help? Also, there was RED loc tite on the old one. Think BLUE (medium) will do OK? Thanks for your help! By the way, I checked the thickness by using my dad's micrometer I inherited. Never used it before, and I assure you, it was a very very special time for me. ' Miss you, Dad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It said in my manual 20 ft lbs or 20N it says in the manual to replace them because threy come from the factory with their own loc tite apllied to them.I am sure if you use the red you will be fine.by the way I looked up the cost for new bolts $2.60 ea.x 12 $31.20 ouch.

XXTi Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 The front rotor bolts torque to 14 ft/lbs. The rear rotor torques to 31 ft/lbs. I use blue (medium strength) loctite. The red stuff is permanent. The torques are shown on the front and rear wheel pages in the Honda manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, duh.....I guess I should have looked in the wheel section for information on FUCKING BRAKES!! FWIW, the red may be permanent, but the screws came right out. I will install tomorrow. Thanks so much guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the thread locker from Honda is red colored, but I don't think it is "red locktite". That shit sets up like iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironmike Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Red Lock-Tite is not truely permanent; it will degrade and release with the judicious application of significant heat... but be very careful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
