Instructions:
1. Park your car on a level surface. Apply the parking brake and engage the wheel chocks.
2. Loosen the lug nuts on the affected wheels. Do not remove them completely.
3. Raise your car with the jack. Place the jack stands under the car's frame, near the affected wheels.
4. Remove the lug nuts and take off the wheels.
5. Remove the brake caliper. There are two bolts that hold the caliper in place. Use your socket wrench to remove these bolts.
6. Remove the old brake rotor. There is one bolt that holds the rotor in place. Use your socket wrench to remove this bolt. The rotor should then slide off.
7. Clean the hub. Use a flat-head screwdriver and a hammer to remove any rust or debris from the hub.
8. Install the new brake rotor. Place the new rotor on the hub and secure it with the bolt.
9. Reinstall the brake caliper. Place the caliper back over the rotor and secure it with the two bolts.
10. Reinstall the wheels and lug nuts. Tighten the lug nuts until they are snug.
11. Lower the car. Use the jack to lower the car until the wheels are on the ground.
12. Test the brakes. Pump the brake pedal several times to make sure the brakes are working properly.
Your brake rotors should now be replaced.
