there are no issues with it if you know what you are doing. if you are switching rotors make sure you do not engage your emergency brake prior to removal. that would ensure you have a long and painful experience.

I can't speak for Brembo's, but the base model brakes have no tricks to them. Like Z04 said, just leave the parking brake off if only so you can turn it if you have to for some reason. Definitely if you are changing rotors. Have a deadblow hammer handy if you are changing rotors, they can be stubborn sometimes. My left rear was a major pain, the rest came off with no trouble.

I recently tried to change out the rear rotors, but it was near impossible to get those sob out, is there a better method to take them out? I had to just leave em on and changed the fronts only. The fronts was a BREEZE, I used a longer bolt to go in the hole where the oem bolt went so they can't put your rear tires up front and it just pops the rotor out easily instead of trying to bang/pull it out. The rear's don't have it so I couldn't get it off. I even loosen the e-brake to make sure it was as loose as possible still no go.

^^ what we did wrong was you had the ebrake engaged before we started......live and learn.......

but you didnt need to change your rears anyway.....your rears were fine......your fronts were the ones that were F-up...

We did disengaged them and they still would not go anywhere. Yeah I know we didn't need to that wasn't the point though. We had them disengaged and you even loosen the engagement point didn't you?
