question about rotors

I bought a set of rotors on ebay slotted/cross drilled zinc plated. but i was wondering if any of you guys changed the rotors by yourself? i took the caliper off but i dunno if the axle bolt is holding the the rotors or not.. and if any one can provide me the torque specs that would be nice =]

The install isn't too bad... The only part I had trouble with was the rotor retaining screws. 7 of the 8 came off with an impact driver, but I had to drill the last one out.

^ Yes sir. I just drilled right through them. They just hold the rotor in place while on the assembly line at the factory so they are pretty useless now.

This should help as well.

Do not drill the screws just got buy a $10 impact screw driver and take them off the right way.
