Default Stupid brake question inside, please read :)

How hard is it to change the front rotors on a 1991 Civic EX sedan?...I've done the pads before no sweat, the rotors don't look like they'd be much harder but before I do it, I want to know if there are any little tricky tips or time-saving measures I can take to make sure it gets done right the first time...any help or advice is appreciated.

Yea, spray some break away on the screws too. They should not be too hard to remove.

Do you definatlly have to change the pads when you replace the rotors?
mine are warped and i picked up a set of powerslots with 2000 miles on them[70$] and id like to go ahead and install them and it would be easier if i didnt have to put on new pads.
also does anyone know much about redline brake fluid??
how much is it and is it worth it over regular brake fluid?

dont let the caliper hang by the break line unless u wanna replace em...get a wire coat hanger and bend it so u can hang it off a suspension piece so no wieght is on the brake line
