The correct method of retaing the disc in place is to use a NEW spring washer which fits over the one of the studs .. Never ever in my whole life have I ever heard of GLUE on a brake disc... What a palaver and when if ever you need to get them off again well more than the help of him above will be needed......!
 
The discs warp because of uneven heat tranference . New discs should be cured and bedded in before putting them to heavy braking.. there is a procedure for doing it.

TBH, would've thought a bit of copper grease on the back to keep the crud and rust out might be useful. Else ditto.

You can always tell a good motor mechanic by the size of his hammer! GlueHuh Dont you realise it has to come off at some point.  Thin discs cause the judder.

Snoopy is so right about bedding in the new discs and brakes. You should leave at all costs heavy breaking for around the next 200 miles for the correct adjustment of the brake linings to the discs. No warping and uneven wear.
