i think what he meant was that yes, they will fit, and no, they are not hard at all. remove the caliper, and the brake pad mounts, pull off the old rotor, put on the new rotor, reinstall the brake pad mount, and the caliper and youre done. with the right tools (air tools etc..) its like a 20 minute job.

make sure that you have enough clearence on the inside of the rotor where it meets the emergency brake pads......mine was a little tight of a fit and right now i have minor minor binding which i need to pull off and sand down the inside of the rotor just a hair.......

other than that its the same as the front

also the W-Body rotors are the same in the rear as well. (Impala, MonteCarlo Grand Prix)

this can be avoided by not pulling the parking brake when changing the rear rotors. :P

you'll realize one day its cheaper to do things yourself than to pay someone else for something.......also i hate to tell you but, no one can do a better job than yourself. (perfectionist)

also look at my engien compared to yours Ken. everything there has been installed be me or with help by a friend. i have never once taken my car anywhere to get it worked on...
