brake rotor how to?

i didn't find anything when searching on this topic. does anyone have a how-to for brake rotor replacement? or could someone outline what's involved in this process? i've only done pads before and i'm getting ready to install new pads and rotors now.

thanks

It's good to read another owner expanding his horizons. Keep it up.

Nice write-up; I never saw that before. Just to expand on two points...

Step 10 mentions removing the star washers. What isn't mentioned is that they are not re-used, so you don't have to be gently removing them. I usually just twist them off with a pair of water pump pliers.
The rears get torqued to 125 ft-lbs.

Keep searching on CF. I found dozens of threads before I did my pads and rotors replacements. There are alot of other links on the web also.
Good luck, it's not a hard job for a first timer.
