Wow, $118 what a deal I paid $170 just for my front rotors at Advance auto and they are cheaper than NAPA

when I changed my front rotors I pulled a real trick.
Being I dont have a vise or impact tools I took 2 screw drivers placed them the side vents of the old rotor and lined them up in the holes of 2 cinder blocks took a 12" T handle allen wrench and placed 2 kitchen table legs "or any other pipe" on the t's and used them to twist while standing on the blocks to keep them steady.
When you see the allen wrench starting to look like a candy cane the bolt is getting ready to break free... these bolts have that nice pretty blue loc-tight on them to keep them in PERMANATLY in place

Unless your pretty strong you might need another person to help I had dad help on this one arthritic arms dont help when doing this job lol

To install the bolts I just did the opposite


And that is called improvising
