Claim 43:
44. A method of assembling a disc brake rotor assembly comprising a disc brake rotor and a wheel hub, wherein one of the disc brake rotor and the wheel hub includes a plurality of first partial keyways and a plurality of third partial keyways and the other of the disc brake rotor and the wheel hub includes a plurality of second partial keyways, the method comprising:
positioning the second partial keyways intermediate the first partial keyways and the third partial keyways to form keyways; and
advancing leading end portions of fasteners through the first partial keyways, through the second partial keyways, and into the third partial keyways so that the fasteners extend in the keyways and connect the disc brake rotor and the wheel hub;
wherein the disc brake rotor and the wheel hub include bosses; and
wherein positioning the second partial keyways comprises:
orienting the bosses of the disc brake rotor and the wheel hub in a clearance configuration;
advancing the disc brake rotor relative to the wheel hub in a first direction with the bosses in the clearance configuration to position the disc brake rotor on the wheel hub; and
turning the disc brake rotor and the wheel hub relative to one another to shift the bosses to an interference configuration wherein the bosses engage to limit shifting of the disc brake rotor relative to the wheel hub in a second direction opposite the first direction.
