Default 2005 Mustang GT Brake Rotor Swap

I was wondering how hard it is to swap rotors? Is it as simple as pulling the old one off and throwing new ones on or is it bearing swaps or something involved.

Remove wheels, brake caliper/mount off and swap them out. pretty easy to do. If they don't come off, tap them with a mallet.

easy peasy, if you have ever done a break job before, it will be a piece-o-cake but to collapse the rear calipers you have to get a special tool, you can get it a most auto stores for i think around $25 a day or a needle nose pliers and rotate if (i remember i think clock wise ) and apply pressure to collapse it, kinda a stinker front ones are like anything else, squeeze and they will collapse. dont stab your self with the pliers!
