DRW Brake Rotor Question

Putting new rotors on my 2002 Ford Dually & was wondering if anyone knows what the ratchet/nut torque rating is & is the factory brake fluid DOT 3-4 or is it the silicone based DOT 5?

Lug nut torque is 165 lb/ft.

Fluid is DOT 3.

if your talking axle nut it is something like 60 ft lbs and then back off 7 clicks for new bearings and 5 for used bearings.

Good call. I wasn't sure which one he was talking about when I read it.

So, to cover all the bases:

Rotor to hub bolts: 66-68 lb/ft.

Hub nut:
Torque to 70 lb/ft.
Back off 90 degrees.
Retorque to 18 lb/ft.
Install dial indicator and verify hub has zero end play.
Check that rotating torque of hub does not exceed 20 lb-in.
