Changing Rear Rotors.....
Okay so im getting slotted rotors and hp+ pads from pettit. My problem is i've got the caliper and pads off, how in the world do i get my rotors off??? Step by step information would be much appreciated. And photos wouldn't hurt if all possible.

I believe FC and FD brakes are the same.
1) Remove two screws that hold the rotor to the hub. They're located between the studs sticking through the rotor.
2) Pull rotor off the hub. Very lightly tap on a couple edges with a hammer to loosen it, if needed.
3) Slide rotor on studs and tighten down set screws. Loosen them just a little so they aren't frozen next time it needs service.
The next challenge will be rotating the piston so it retracts and gives you enough room to install the caliper with the new pad. You can use a pair of needlenose pliers or a specialty tool like this.

Hope this helps.
