Anybody know the correct torque spec for the rotor to the hub? I was thinking 25 foot pounds but now I'm second guessing myself. Thanks!

standard SAE torque values are grade 8 bolt 22#/grade 5 bolt is 15# based on lubing the threads dry threads are slightly different.

Thanks for the info. The aluminum threads were my real concern here. I stripped all of the threads out of a Winters magnesium hub at 25. What's strange is that the threads didn't come out until the bolts were taken out.
