Default Changing out rotors....

Having vibration in the steering wheel during breaking (front rotors I would guess).....

Also starting to hear an intermittant scraping noise out of the drivers side rear.... when I pulled the rear wheels and spun the hub.... I get a scraping sound at the same spot every time (rear rotor I would guess).....

Got almost 69k on the rotors..... changed the front pads at 50k... rear pads look to be in great shape.....

Looking at the manual.... looks like the rotors are fairly easy to replace....

Anyone have any experience or horror stories regarding changing them? Looks like 2 or 4 bolts (and the hub nut on the rears) is all it takes to get them off....

Thanks,

You'll need an impact hammer to get that one screw off each rotor. Without one, you will most likely strip out the head and have to drill out the screw.
