Front Rotors

      This is a really easy replacement. Jack up the front and remove the wheel. With a screwdriver pry off the metal retaining wire. Then Using a 10mm hex wrench remover the two caliper retaining pins and hand the caliper up so not to stress the brake lines. Remove the old pads and depress the piston back into the caliper using a C-clamp. Remove the rotor renaining bolt and the rotor will slide right off. Put the new rotor on and reinstall the retaining bolt. Then place the new pads in and reinstall the caliper. Lastly reattach the retaining wire.
      During this installation I also took the time to paint my calipers and part of the rotors. This is to prevent rust and make them look better. After cleaning it I painted the caliper on the strut tower using high temp spray paint and covering exposed parts with plastic.
