More than likely you will have like two or three screws that hold the rotor onto the hub. I personally used an impact screwdriver to bust them loose, but apparenlty they where already loose, go figure. You might want to remove some fluid from the Master Cylinder reservoir, as when you are pressing the caliper piston back in, you'll a rise in fluid level in the master cylinder.



Anyway, it's pretty much remove the two caliper sliding bolts from the caliper (top and bottom #30), slide caliper out, you might also have to remove the caliper mount too (that would be where part #32 attaches to), depending on whether or not you have clearance to remove the rotor. Remove the three or four holding screws (part #36) either by hand if they are loose enough, or with an impact screw driver. Remove old rotor, clean new rotor surface, both front and back, with brake cleaner (very important as rotors come in with a layer ontop of them that protects the surface during shipping). Attach new rotors, put three or four screws that hold the rotor back into rotor, attach caliper mount, squeeze the caliper piston back into bore by turning it with a special tool, lube brake pad contact points (#18) and then lube back of brake pads with grease also, attach caliper to mount, lube sliding bolt (if it is a sliding bolt) and lube only on non-threaded section, attached securely, and depress the brake pedal a few times to bring the piston back up to the back of the brake pad and your ready to go.
