Author Message   S1owner Posted on Friday, June 05, 2015 - 09:03 pm:        Ok what do you guys use for a torx to install the front rotor hardware? Everything I have used just twists and breaks cant get anywhere near the manual specified torque.   Froggy Posted on Friday, June 05, 2015 - 09:41 pm:        Professional grade SnapOn bits. I had the same issue using my cheap tools till I went to my father's shop and tried the good stuff.   Camronnie Posted on Saturday, June 06, 2015 - 01:05 am:        My book says install the front rotor to 25-27 ft/lbs, you're having an issue with your bits holding that? All I have for a square drive torx set is from craftsman, and they're security torx too, I haven't had any twisting issues with them yet.   S1owner Posted on Saturday, June 06, 2015 - 07:09 am:        Thanks for confirming the torque spec also but yes still twisting them. I am going to go through it all this morning and I will let you know how I come out   S1owner Posted on Saturday, June 06, 2015 - 12:06 pm:        Thanks for the help got it done. My bits must have just had better days after removing the stuck b%stards!
