Default Changing rotors on 4WD Tundra

How hard is it to change the front rotors? Any speciality tools needed??? I want to make sure I'm prepared before I jump on the job.

Remove the wheels then remove the caliper. Tools would be lug nut wrench and the proper size metric wrench or socket to remove the caliper. No brake lines to disconnect, just be sure you support the caliper with something besides the brake hose. You may have to push the disc pads back some to clear the new rotor as it won't have any wear on it. Might need a soft headed mallet to jar the rotor loose from the front hub. I'm assuming you've changed pads before.

If a combo of all these whizz bangs met their claims you'd have to syphon gas out of your tank every second day and sell the excess horsepower on the third????

Yeah, I have done it before on my 4WD Bronco but I had to use a spanner (sp?) socket and I didn't know if Toyota used the same type setup.

you will need a 17mm, preferable 6 pt., socket to get the caliper bolts off.
