RE: Consistently Warped Rotors Driving Me Nuts

[c a l i b a n <caliban@sharon.net>]

	colored bars (color corresponds to torque value) that
	some tire places use on air wrenches.  i have been 
	told that when the desired torque is reached, they flex
	and stop applying force.  i'm wary, and would love a
	better explanation.

	these were used on my car, which has quite the shimmy
	when i brake.  seeing as most of the suspension is 
	shot (shocks, bushings, etc) i am not *too* worried
	abou the brake rotors being warped.  we'll see, though,
	once i replace the suspension stuff i need to do.

	is there a way to check the torque of a nut when removing 
	it?  i have a regular s&k click-type wrench.
