What torque spec is it to attach the rotor (disk) to the hub? Your YouTube video used a pneumatic gun and did not say the torque specs.

If installing the rotor back on then tightening torque spec is 47 ft.lb. star pattern.

Hear is a video that shows the job being done.

This torque spec, see picture (rotor disk to hub). Not the torque for attaching the wheel back on. Unless its the same spec of 83 foot pounds.
