Got 15 minutes a wheel? Then you can replace your rotors.
Step #1. Loosen Lugs
Step #2. Jack up car and put on jack stand
Step #3. Remove lugs
Step #4. Remove wheel
Step #5. Remove 2 bolts holding caliper assembly to wheel hub.
Step #6. Using zip ties or wire, place the caliper out of the way so you can work, yet not too far so that it stresses the brake line.
Step #7. Grab the rotor on the left and right side, and pull towards you. Wiggle it left and right to get it off.
Step #8. Install new Rotor
Step #9. Remove the cover off the Brake fluid resoivor
Step #10. using a C-Clamp. push the caliper piston back in. You can use the old brake pad as something to push on to move it back. DO NOT PUSH ON THE PISTON ITSELF, you can damage it.
Step #11. Put cover back on Brake Fluid resivor.
Step #12. Remove old pads from Caliper, install new pads. ONLY install rotors with new pads.
Step #13. Install caliper on rotor
Step #14. Install 2 bolts holding caliper to wheel hub
Step #15. Install wheel
Step #16. Finger tighten lug nuts
Step #17. Jack up car, remove jack stand, lower car.
Step #18. Torque down lug nuts to proper spec
Repeat for other side.
When done, bleed the brakes, staring at the passenger side rear, then drivers side rear, then passenger side front, then drivers side front. Keep bleeding each until you get 3 clean shots of fluid with no air in them.
