    Not hard to do.
    The calipers have to be un-bolted, then the rotor will come right off.

      itd be smart to change pads as well. AND you should get the calipers painted by pewter2k [img]smile.gif[/img]

        You don't even have to remove the caliper from the bracket. I just popped my wheels off, unbolted the two mounting bolts that hold the caliper bracket to the front suspension and pulled it off. Just remember to use a jack or something to support the caliper so it doesn't hang by the brake lines. Don't forget to clean any brake dust off the brake pads while you're at it!

        If you have any of the star washers from the factory holding on the rotors, just cut them off and throw them out. They're only on there to hold them on at the factory, you don't need them.

        Also, don't forget to break the new rotors in. You don't want to warp a brand new set.
