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.

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.
