if you dont have a rubber mallet get one.... you can use a metal hammer if you aren't planning on using your old rotors again.... sometimes they are reallllly stuck on there so you gotta bang em off good luck!

You have two days to do them, so just take your time and follow the write ups... And make sure you have all the proper tools and stuff to complete the job... Good luck! Take some pics of how everything comes out... Especially the rotors, cause I still gotta do mine when I change my brakes soon.

If your still having problems getting the rotors off try using some PB Blaster. Thats some great stuff.
