2002 Explorer 4x4.
Front:
Jack front end. Remove tire. Remove 18mm bolts holding caliper bracket on. Suspend bracket and caliper with nylon tie or coat hanger so you don't damage the lines. Remove old rotor (they just wabble there when the tire is off, I just had the front tires off this weekend, so I don't project a problem). Spray and clean new rotors with brake cleaner. Place on hub. Squeeze brake piston to fit on new rotor. Place bracket back on, dab of lock tite on bolt threads, tighten.
Rear:
Jack back end. Remove tire. Remove 11mm bolts holding caliper. Hang calipers. Spray back of rotors with liquid wrench (they are "stuck on"), allow to sit. Bang with big hammer around edges. Remove old rotors, replace with new. Squeeze piston to fit on new rotor. Replace bracket with a little lock tite on threads, tighten.
Sound about right? A little nervous, first time I'm going to attempt this.
Thanks in advance.
