I want to replace the front rotors on my '03 Malibu, but I've been told to torque the spindle nut to specification after installing the new rotors. How important is this? What is the correct torque specification for the '03 Malibu? Please help.

you shou;ldnt have to take any nuts off to change the rotors....

You have to remove two bolts to remove the caliper and then the rotors come right off. Retorque the two caliper bolts to 25 foot pounds
