Not sure, but that seems like an awful lot of torque for a pretty small set screw!

The screw does nothing but hold the rotor in place when the wheel is removed. It keeps the rotor from falling off. Put a drop of blue lock tight on it and snug it up. There is no reason to Torque It Down.

MB Torque for locking bolt (safety screw), brake disc of front axle to wheel hub is 10 Nm. Like Eric says just snug it down.

I got the torque spec from ALLDATAdiy.

I definately recommend a drop of "blue" Loctite. It helps reduce corrosion on the Screw and you don't need to over tighten it. They corrode in there and can be a ***** to remove at times.
