    First off. I know, I know, I know, I haven't been around in while.:rolleyes:
    (I've been busy as heck with Boy Scouts, new job, etc.)

    Anywho, down to business. I've done a search and perused for a time now looking for a DIY on front rotors, if it's out there I haven't found it. Anybody out there could steer me in the right direction as far as any special tools, techniques, etc. ? I sure appreciate it!:eek:

    took me 1 min to find this on youtube. it's a straightforward job. it's a detailed video for doing pads and rotors. if you're just doing rotors, all you have to do is unscrew 2 main bolts that holds the caliper to the spindle. hope this helps.

    :D Duh, I honestly hadn't thought to check YouTube, too busy looking through TW... that's a pretty darn good video, thank you for your reply.
    As it was I ended up diving in without any tutorials and then I realized, "Why heck this ain't that hard at all. It's just one more step on top of replacing pads."
