brakes are easy. if you do replace the rotors don't forget to clean and repack the bearings. that bearing packer that i used kept the job reasonably clean. check out This thread. i just changed front brakes and rotors on the Fixed Or Repaired Daily. took about 45 minutes total. one thing that you may or may not be able to do that saved me some time is if you're going to change the rotors too then there is no need to remove the assembly from the brake mount. just remove the two bolts holding the entire unit to the disc. you can then swap out the pads. don't forget to c-clamp the old pads and squeeze the calipers back out to make adequate room for the new pads around the new discs.
