New Rotors and pads, quick questions...

[mezje]

Just completed one side and ad some questions...

1. How important is it to clean the rotors with brake cleaner before installing?
2. Can I use throttle body/carby cleaner to clean the rotors
3. Can this be done AFTER installation i.e. just spray the disk, turn it a bit, spray again?
4. What is the torque spec for the bolts that hold the caliper to the strut?

Cheers.
