Default How to change pads/rotors w/pics

It seems like there have been alot of threads thru time asking the same question,how to replace pads and rotors,well,maybe you should sticky this link?
http://www.g2ic.com/tegtips/brakesus/5.html
It has details and pictures which work well together

Only inaccuracy i saw was that it said "It is highly recommended that you use NEW BRAKE PADS when you install new rotors. "

Very common msiconception,correct me if im wrong,but all pads and rotors work better when seasoned. Especially when working with aftermarket performance rotors and pads. Install either new rotors or pads first,do several hard brakes from about 60 to 0,and put a few hundred miles on them,THEN replace the other part(pads or rotors,whichever you didnt put on first time),and repeat the process again. It is supposed to help mate the surfaces to each other,and common sense says two brand new surfaces wont mate well for a long time,if ever...
I found out the hard way,hopefully this saves somone else the trouble.

Also,just check out this site along with the forums on here before asking those really simple basic questions that have been asked a thousand times before.
