jack up car

take off wheel

remove 2 bolts holding caliper on

use a wire hanger to support caliper while changing rotor

tap rotor from behind to loosen

compress piston to get caliper back on(some people say use a clamp or such, I just use brute force)

put everything back on(make sure you have slots going the right way)

bed in new rotors

simple? if your not confident, let a pro do it for you. Would only cost about $100 from local mechanic

I recently got some new rotors too, was considering doing it myself having recently done my spark plugs, but decided I didnt wanna f**k with brakes.

Probably the only thing I wont attempt on my own, just not really worth the risk if you arent confident
