Question for those that have swapped rotors >>

How much play did the rotors have after mounting ? Is it supposed to be really tight or is there supposed to be a little bit of play?

I can't get mine totally tight, there is a little play on both sides....any advice or help ?

you have to set the bearings then back it off.

if its too tight, the bearing will burn up

jack up the truck and shack the wheel from top to bottom, if there is play in them you need to tighten them more

I'm not sure what the heck is going on.

I think that one of the back sides of the caliper where the T45 bolt is, is stripped . It sits fine when the wheel is stationary and then when I go to pull out of the driveway and turn the wheel it seems to let go and it rubs against the wheel...I have a pretty nice gouge on the rim from it hitting the caliper. It's a little worn out looking, almost broken down looking.

I have no idea how to go about fixing such a thing. I hope I cna fix it , if not I guess I'll jsut have to go buy a set of the TCE's or something
