simple.

1) jack car up
2) remove wheel
3) remove caliper (2 bolts on back of caliper, use 3/8" allen key to loosen the bolts)
4) may need to bang on the rotor with a mallet to loosen it up but once the caliper is off the rotor just pulls off
5) replace everything in reverse order
6) pump the brakes back up

why would you get rotors from a scrap yard? new ones are like 25 each.

why bother? last time i inquired about having rotors cut, the CHEAPEST i found was $30/ disc. when i can get rotors for cheaper than cutting, makes no sense...
