looking to get some brembo rotors and i want to make sure i dont screw anything up.  Any guides online?  I did my girlfriends rotors and brake pads (brembo and AEM).  Anything thats different by chance? Can anyone point me to a guide?  Thanks!

1. remove wheel
2. remove lower caliper bolt, pads, slide caliper off/or remove top bolt too (cant remember off hand) neatly hang caliper with coat hanger or something so it is not hanging by the brake line.
3.  Remove caliper bracket bolts  (2 @ 17mm)
4.  Remove screw that hold rotor in place, sometimes these are already gone or twisted off, don't need em anyway. (these are PITA sometimes)
5.  Remove rotor, whack it with a BFH from behind if you have too. (unless you plan on using them again)
6. reassemble and pump brakes before you leave the garage/driveway
7. Retorque wheels to 85ft/lbs
8. send bbp 6 pack of cold beer <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> (anything imported)

Ok this one had to make me laugh. &nbsp;Didnt realize all of this was so easy but I figure I better check on these things before moving on.

And drinking will be part of the process. &nbsp;No better feeling then a job well done except for that of a job well done while intoxicated.

Good point. &nbsp;I dont think Id be finding it very funny when I drop the car on my leg that I was too intoxicated to remove from under the car.
