I didn't torque mine up, but tightened them up quite tight, and spun the wheel quite a bit, then repeated the procedure a few times till I was comfortable with the feel of the wheel spinning. It felt right, and a year later it is still 100%.

It really is an easy job to do on your own ( well the brake rotors and pads at least, the whole suspension kit may be a little more complicated), but definitely worth having Peters tool.... well I mean his nut tightener ....oh crap, you guys know what I mean. It is worth having in your tool kit for future.

Done and dusted.
Actually a very simple job in the end, but I’m feeling it now. Everything is so big and heavy, and all the nuts so tight. I had to actually work a little!
The old discs were so stuffed. They looked like they came off an ancient farm implement. Rusted and stuffed.
Could it be that they were the originals? 250 000kms?
Thanks everyone for the advice and info
