Just did brakes and rotors

Just (finally) did my brakes and rotors... hopefully I torqued everything correctly, I used a beam-style torque wrench, and when I needed to torque the caliper mount and caliper housing, i took some masking tape and laid it across the number i needed on the front, and turned it until the post met up with the tape. May not be 100% accurate, but it's better than doing it by feel!

I'm sure you did just fine, Most guys still torque by feel with no torque wrench
