Does anyone have or know where to get a "How-To" on replacing the front rotors on a 5th Gen?

It's actually quite easy to do. Just buy a Haynes manual for your car at the local auto store, the instructions are quite clear. Only special thing that is helpful is having a screw of a certain size which you can screw in to "pop" out the rotor if it's a little rusted in there. I didn't have one, so used a rubber mallet to pop it loose (carefully).

Really all you have to do is take off the wheels and then rotate the caliper out of the way. Then the rotor will just pop off with a little effort.

Like I said, get a haynes manual and you'll have no problem. It's a 1/2 hour job to change out the front rotors...

check the top of the 5th gen forum, in the "how to" section, there is instruction in there....
you DO need a C-Clamp though.
I did it myself.. it's pretty easy....
