I did this job sans rotor last week. As the tutorial shows it was pretty easy. I wish I could spend the money on rotors because they are messed up. But autozone has cheap pads for about $14 rear and $17 front. I asked for the cheaper softer pads. I figure they would mold themselves into the groves on the roters and settle in.
right off the bat it was a big improvement. All togeather it wasn't hard at all. just the jacking and tire remeoval was the worst part. I did have a pad on the back that was hard to remove because of the rotor groove. Just had to pry it over. Also one of those keeper springs fell apart and I used a rivit gun to put it back togeather. Do the job you will be glad you did.
