Rotor help

Now, I'm only human. I don't know everything. That being said, is there anything I need to know about installing new rotors? Or is it as simple as taking the rotor off and putting the new ones on?

It's as simple as it seems. First you take off the calipers and brackets then there are what looks like washers on a couple of the studs. You take those off and the rotors come off. If they're frozen on try hitting them from behind with a hammer.

Like Alex said. Also, those washers are not required to be put back on. They were used in the factory to keep the rotors on during the assembly process. Since you'll be puttin' your wheels right back on, just toss them.

Well almost.. Assume your replacing the pads. If so you will need a special tool to compress the rear calipers. Autozone is your friend as they have a lend a tool program
