Default DIY for Rotor?

Hi, is there a DIY for rotor? I am in the process of changing my rotor. I figure before my rotors come in i look to see if there is any DIY out there. To my surprise, none.

I posted a DIY brake job with pictures. I did not replace or turn my rotors. You will have to remove the caliper to take the rotor off. There is a bolt at the top of the caliper you remove. Lexus recommends replacing the bolt with a new one if you remove it. The rotors might have to be removed by putting a bolt in them and tightening it which pushes it off the axle. If that is the case you will see the holes on the rotor. So, pads off, calipers off, rotor off, replace in reverse order.

Got to "Replacing my brake pads was cake". There is good info in that thread and my pics are at the end.
