Do I need to use torque specs when tightening the rotor assembly to the rotor? Thank you.

Rotor to hub bolts are torqued to 47 ft lb. Torque them in a star pattern so they are even. Clean off all the rust/dirt from the hub as well. I will apply a thin wipe of never seize or spray with fluid film before assembly. Makes them come apart better the next time.

Lug nuts - 83 ft lb.

This is a good video on the process.
