help with front rotor replacement{1st time}
I've ordered some powerslots and some AEM brake pads and
am wondering what the step by step would be?and if ya'll
know any special tools I may need would be appreciated.
This is my first time to do this, so be gentle{heheh}no flamming.
I did a search and came back with nothing...

Even though the procedure was done on my 5G, the process is still the same.

Are the 6th gen V6 rotors rotor-over-hub? I think that would make it much easier and reduce the # of steps vs the step by step guide you have for the 5th gen.

Exactly how it sounds. The hub is over the rotor (4G & 5G). See photo, notice hub bolts into rotor.
Now a rotor-over-hub (floating rotor) has the rotor on top of the hub. Thus it's easier to change your rotors.

so what your saying is that mine is rotor-over-hub, and is easier to work on than what I just read? I was starting to get worried as I was reading that.

Yeah, you won't have to use the slide hammer. Does anyone have a photo of the floating hub design? This is the only image I could find (since I do have other work to attend to...)

Oh yeah yours will be easy. Once you've removed the caliper (probably two 17mm bolts) the rotor should only have 1 or 2 philips screws holding it. It might be fused to the hub and require hammering or prying off. Um maybe you don't even need to remove the caliper to swap rotors, just lift the pads... I don't remember.

no that alone should not make them harder to remove. I would suggest getting a impact driver, it should be around $30 at home depot. you whack it with a standard hammer and it will help release the bolt/screw that is frozen in place without damaging or striping the bolt/screw.
