The rotor went in with the screw without a hitch. I am taking another break while waiting for the blue loctite to dry on the caliper bolts.
In the mean time I am helping Dpette roast a duck.

You don't need loctite, like the man said the lug bolts hold the disk in place when the car is moving, and if the wheel comes off, the brake on that corner isn't going to help you stop anyway.

I have a good quality small set with ez out bits and 'left turn' drill bits for stainless steel.
More often than not, I don't have to use the ez out, the broken fastener/bolt will come out with the left hand drill bit.
Just got myself a 29pc (ultra dex magnum) US made drill bit set for stainless steel.
Paid $95 which I thought was a great deal.
