Changing front rotors ?

Hey guys, just got myself a 1993 323 hatch and it needs front brakes changed. How difficult is the replacing of rotors and pads ? I have Haynes manual and it seems pretty manageble, has anyone done this ?


EDIT: I took off the wheel to inspect the brakes for myself. It seems that brake pad is frozen, it touches the disk even if brakes are not pressed. Disk seems to be in a good condition. Do you think the caliper is gone?

Car still stops, but brake pedal pulsates and needs to be pressed down pretty hard. I guess car is being stopped only by rear drums.

Your opinions ?


Thanks, Mike.
