It’s easy to change them if you don't strip the Phillips screws, I suggest you drill the screws out of your old rotors rather then **** around with them.

Using an impact screw driver is a must when changing the rotors

yes and no.. autozone rotors are JUNK... they warp very easily... we only use them on customers cars if customers request "the cheap ****"

and another trick to take off the phillips head screws is to hit them with a pick.. It will basically break the screw a bit, but also break it loose

I did the rotors on my 92 CX and found that the screws come out real easy if you drive a little frist, to warm up the rotor. I found out the hard way and ended up cracking one rotor.

So what pads are you going to use?

I hope you aren't just planning on slapping those on with old pads...

You can get an impact driver from advance for like 10 bucks it comes with 4 bits also that is a TOTAL must for any car that has screws holding the rotors. It makes it a lot easier. IMO drilling them out is to much work i had to do that on a car a little bit ago at the house i was working on my buddys car at they didn't have an impact driver and i didn't bring any of my tools that wasn't fun.

I got my impact screwdriver from autozone i think, I've done about 30-40 brake jobs. I think I paid $10-20, piece of junk but it works.
