I am considering doing the $1300 rotor and pad change myself. I have found the DIY for brake pad change, but not for the rotors. Does anyone know if there is a write up for it?

Is that how much it costs to do this at the dealership?
If it is, there is no way I'm not doing this myself considering how easy this is to do.
As BB said, 2 bolts hold the caliper in the back...take them out, pull off the caliper...rotor slides right off. It's a "floating" assembly...

Thanks. Any chance you (or anyone) know the torque spec for the bolts holding the caliper to the hub. Don't want to break the bolt or have it come loose on me.
Thanks for the help. That was just what I needed. Took about 2 hours to replace the rotors and pads, using a single jack and raising only one side at a time. Not bad if I do say so myself.
