Big brake assembly problem
Hi
I have got a Willwood 300mm big brake kit. What is the coorect torque levet for the bell and rotor/disk assembly ??
I was told that Burton Power recommend torque setting of 14 Nm or 10.5 Lb/ft. but that is not much torque or is it ?
What torque level have you used on your bell and rotor assembly ??

They are only small bolts though anything more than they and they would either sheer off or round out.
Its a small torque but there is a lot of bolts all the way round so the load gets spread evenly

It Wasnt Me!
they should have nylock nuts, and it is 14nm
once you torque them tho, dont loosen them or over torque then loosen to 14nm!
Jus put new AP discs on AP bells and that was the recomended torque!
