Re: [DML] front brake rotor replacement

[Jim Strickland <ihaveanaccount@xxxx>]

I'm not convinced that applying too much torque to the lugs necessarily
warps rotors either. When I got my D, the lugs were tightened to over
200 ftlbs. I had to go buy a breaker bar to get the lugs free, and even
so, ended up bending the metal on one the lugs. Still, I haven't
experienced any warped rotor problems. Just that #@$! squeal!!
