Is there a DIY sticky on changing the rotors on a Brembo equiped car? Looked around and searched with no results.

 

I have a feeling it's complicated

(but bump...would be interested in a DIY too)

 

It's bone simple.

1- remove wheel
2- dismount caliper (two bolts on the back)
3- slide old rotor off
4- slide new rotor on
5- replace caliper (you might want to change the pads while you have it off)
6- bleed caliper if needed
7- replace wheel
8- bed pads in per manufacturer's instructions

 

well, I mean, the instructions are simple. but arguably doing it is a bit more complicated (or maybe it's just me )

 

I think it might just be you

Really this is a very very simple process. About a 1 out of 5 difficulty.

 

Can anyone explain the where the 2 bolts are to remove the caliper? Also what size are they?

Why would you need to bleed the caliper?

 

doesn't this process also involve a fair amount of elbow grease (e.g. knocking the rotor off, using a clamp to depress the piston in the caliper, etc. -- things like that?)

I saw a guy do the brakework on my old Acura and it wasn't exactly something I would call intuitive. installing an exhaust/intake/etc is intuitive. this is a bit more involved.
