Now this is like brushing your teeth without paste, you really should pull the rotors and cut or replace them because any grooves or ugly will transfer to your new pads and possibly create pull or odd Ware
Doing it right only take 2 more large bolts and a trip to the parts store or machine shop

I dont think a 96 is much different than a 93. This is my experience.

"Quick pad change"... I hope it worked out that way for you, I truly do. I went to do a "quick fluid change" this past weekend, which was spoiled by an impossibly stuck bleed screw on the very first corner. Then I found uneven wear on that inner brake pad. Then I saw how bad the rubber lines all looked.

But hey, I haven't had a chance to rebuild calipers for a while, so it's a good thing. Right? Just taking care of "surprises" in advance.
