Had to replace one of the front rotors today. Sooo much fun. Just a tidbit of info that may help someone searching in the future:
To make re-installing the lug studs easier, I used the old rotor as a spacer/guide. I set the new assy on top of it lining up the stud holes, dropped in the studs and pounded them back in. Worked great and made a nice, stable surface to pound against.
Total deal took me about 2.5hrs. Wasn't as bad as had been depicted. I found various forum threads when searching that referenced 8-10hrs!
