@Yoni159 welcome here!
On rotors and breakcaliper bolts its adviseable to use blue @Loctite because of vibrations on this items.
Torque wrench not necessarely if you have some experience with tools.

What I said, if you have some experience, NO torque wrench.
If not, the likelyhood to mess up bolts or treads is high with torque wrench.

A tip: If the rotor machine screws are difficult to remove due to the locktite, apply heat to the screw heads with a propane torch for a few seconds and they should easily break loose.

I agree with Rufus: snug them up without using a torque wrench unless you are not a confident "wrencher". The locktite will be your insurance.
