Re: '76 K25 Brake Rotor Replacement... How?

15. Press new wheel studs in.

16. Install hub and rotor onto spindle, reassembly is reverse of disassembly.

Spindle nut torque values seem to vary depending on what I read. I torqued the inner ones to 50 lbs while turning the rotor, then backed it off 1/4 of a turn. The outer nuts I torqued to 125 lbs. Also, I was not able to reuse the original metal flange gaskets, and instead used a little black silicone.

17. Install new rubber hoses, calipers, pads, slider pins, and speed bleeders. Bleed brakes, slap those ugly wheels back on, and call it a day.

I should be good for another 50k or 40 years, whichever comes first.
