NEED SOME ADVICE ON CHANGING ROTORS
I am changing my rotors this coming weekend an could use some tips/tricks that might help. I have done it before many times on my other vehicles but never on the vette. Do I need any special tools? Gear puller? or is it like any other vehicle? I have some pointers on breaking the pads/rotors in but need some tips on the install... any help greatly appreciated!

:cheers: Basically pretty simple, just like your other vehicles
You need to remove the brackets holding the calipers and then the rotors will simply slide off,.
When reattaching the caliper brackets, check the torgue specs on the bolts, On my 88 it is 137 ft lbs.

Very easy, once the caliper brackets are off, they will slide right off.
