I've already watched this extremely helpful video and have pored over the FSM (though it doesn't seem to show how to replace rotors, I guess it assumes that everyone knows how to do that). I have a nice set of PowerStop K1155 pads and rotors with all the little sliding parts and rubbery bits. I'm not rebuilding the calipers, nor am I rebuilding the rear axle - not even bleeding the brakes (going to do that after I do the front axle). I'm just popping the tire off, taking the pads out of the caliper, then putting the caliper somewhere safe. Then, I'm taking the rotor off, lightly sanding the parking brake shoes, putting the new rotor on, and getting the pads back into the caliper and the caliper back on.
Sound about right? Anything I should look for? Maybe bad wheel studs? The only specific question I have is what I torque the actual rotor down to - I know what to torque the lug nuts to, but the FSM seems silent on proper torque for rotor bolts. I think it's 65 ft-lbs?
I know this is a super basic question, but I've never done this before - I'm sure we'll get it right, I'm not nervous, but just wanted to see if anyone had suggestions as to what I might watch out for in the process.
Thanks and sorry for cluttering the board with the basics.
