Anyone run into any snags when installing new rotors front and rear? Special "ford" tools I might need?

The only problem I had was getting one of the rotors off the hub. Buy a rubber mallet and be prepared to bash the S#*t out of it!

Hey
What kind of rotors did you get? I think I may get those rotors from spmotorsports.com Not the Brembos, not the econo ones, but the Euro ones?!
BUT, Let me know how the installation goes.
Anyone have pics on putting new ones on?

Paul, thanks for the info.
Little Fishie: I ordered the Powerslot Rotors that were in the groub buy section a couple weeks ago. I'll post how it goes and some pics when finished.

Don't forget to torque the wheels after you put them back on!

If you just put the wheel back on and tighten the lugs without using a torque wrench, you run the risk of warping the rotors.
