One thing that is often overlooked is that the original rotors were held on by a retaining bolt. This bolt for many of us rusted in place and had to be drilled out. When replacing rotors make sure any reminents of this bolt exactly line up the the replacement rotor "hole" so that your rotor and wheel don't wobble at speed. I personally have made this mistake as have others - something to look out for if you were not the original owner to replace the first set of rotors.Also - a goot tip. I have a power screwdriver and I use the biggest flat tip bit to "screw in" the rear calipers (allow your wrist to rotate as it spins in). A lot easier then using a different manual technique and forget about buying a "special tool" IMO.
