replacing rotors

[NDM-SPEC]

I got my slotted brembo rotors the other day and idk if i wanna replace them myself or take it to someone. I did a search on it and couldn't find anything. Two questions
1. Is replacing the front and rear brake rotors hard (i've heard the rears are)?
2. Is there a how to on it at all?

I'm pretty sure I could get it done, but I just wanted to hear others feedback before i get to it.
thanks,

not hard at all. just removing bolts on the calipers

be sure not to undo any brake lines so you dont get fluid everywhere and air in the lines. Its not tough, maybe call a buddy to look over it with you

if i was you i would put on pads too. when doing pads only do one side at a time. cause if you have them both off and try collapsing the caliper the other side can pop apart and they are hard to get back together.

the part that might suck (it did for me at least) will be getting them off. mine were so F'in singed on it took some mighty hacks with a sledge to get em off. No easy feat considering the angle you're swinging and the fact that your car is on jack stands. (whatever you do, don't knock your car off them! lol) so yeah... easy but potentially a pain in the ass. If you can find a shop that'll do it for cheap... might be worth it.

I was planning to do pads too.
thanks

For me, the pads were the easy part. (just make sure you have a breaker bar or you'll never get those damn bolts loose.)

yea, the rears might feel really stuck. spray the s*** out of the hub with some penetrating spray(wd 40 etc) and smack the s*** out of the rotor. Dont worry about hurting it since you will be replacing it
