Brake Rotor Replacement Question
I'm replacing the front brake rotors on my 91 4runner 4WD.

Was thinking of using Blue Loctite (the non-permanent kind) on the rotor retaining bolts.

Anyone know if this is either a good or bad idea?

thanks

It probably wouldn't hurt. But I ain't too sure it would help either. I'm guessing the brake rotor/hubs might get to hot for that stuff to hold good. I use heat to break that stuff alot, and it don't take much.

Why bother.
It's not required.
How many have you heard have come loose when torqued correctly ?

I would go with some antiseize and the right torque.
