19. A method, comprising:
covering a torque face defining a slot of a brake disc and a surface of the brake disc with an insert, wherein the insert defines an insert ear covering the surface; and
extending a rivet shank of a rivet through a washer hole of a washer, through a rivet slot of the insert ear, and into the brake disc to secure the insert to the brake disc as the insert covers the torque face and the surface of the brake disc, such that the washer is between a rivet head of the rivet and the insert ear,
wherein the rivet slot is configured to allow motion of the insert relative to the rivet in a tangential direction of the brake disc when the rivet shank passes through the rivet slot and the washer hole and into the brake disc.
