How easy is it and how often should you do it? I am getting ready to do the brake pads this weekend and want to make sure the rotors don't need it as well. Thanks in advance. Disco II.

Check thickness as to specs in manual. If they are thinner (or badly scored), you will have to replace them - though I guess you will have no problem with your relatively new vehicle.
On my site you'll find links to procedure for replacing rotors.

Hope this helps, Frode

Frode, I just finished replacing seals and pistons (front) on my 1988 RR. Would I have to bleed brakes at all the calipers or only the fronts? I was going to bleed all calipers starting with the farthest away from the master cylinder but after reading the instructions on Wod's site it does not mention bleeding the rears.

Any advice woudl be appreciated.

Thanks

John

Don't know...
Guess it depends on how much fluid you lost (i.e. how far air bubbles would have reached), supposedly you'll have to take the long round. I had to to get the firm pedal.
The fluid is supposed to be renewed every second year, so unless you've replaced it recently, renewing would be better anyway. It's not expensive, so cost should be no issue.

Sorry for delay answering, but I just HAD to work...
