+1, me too.

Having the big wavy out back, I had to adjust the pedal. It grips too well.

I dropped the wheel and it was a challenge to get the shaft seated again when it moved as I had unbolted it, and didn't need to :).

Is it necessary to put new loctite on when remounting the new rotor?
 
Here is my take on re- loctiteing. I seem to always have visible loctite on the bolts when I take them out. Does locktite still work after it dries? I don't know but I do NOT add more. I never had a rotor bolt back out on it's own. Think of the consequences if one did somehow back out. Wouldn't you hear it or feel it start ticking or clicking when it backs out far enough to contact something? Rotor bolts are not something I check visually. Maybe only when I detail the bike. If you guys are having trouble getting these suckers out, maybe you should be using anti sieze compound! I always get a good "Crack!" when unloosening these but they come out fine after that. Watch that torque too as the bolts are going into much softer aluminum.
 
i tap the rotor bolt holes and apply new loc tit.e
