Hey lsers! I did A search on this, but couldnt come up with exacly what im looking for. I need to know if break rotors is a hard job to do. 2 of mine need replaced. I dont know a whole lot about cars, but I can use common sense to figure alot of stuff out. Also a list of tools I will need wld be nice.

on a side note(I think) 235/50/17, stock rims. It rubs on the drivers side when I turn to the left. I dont Even have to turn that far till it starts rubing. I looked in there, and everything looks normal, no loose or plastic or enything.
This cant be normal. Thoughts would be cool.
 
Is the calipers hitting the wheel or the rotors? I know that there isn't much clearance between the wheel and rotor on the stock wheels. Simply due to the fact the offset on the stock wheels are 60mm. You may have a bent wheel on that one side if it is rubbing on the caliper. It is a tight tolerance but it isn't suppose to rub.
 
Front or rear rotors? Fronts are like any other disc brake car. I think its an easy job but I also have a full selection of mechanics tools. The only tool that I would say is a must have is a caliper vise. Makes it real easy. As for the rears everyone says you need a special tool to turn the caliper back in but I use a pair of large needle nose . . . works much easier. Not hard to do. on a scale of 1-5, 5 being difficult I give it a 1.5 if that.
