brake pads
#5
ya very easy as chris said try to get an impact driver for the set screws and im pretty sure its a number 2 phillips bit for the set screws....but if your not replacing or taking your rotors off you dont need to worry about those

whoops.. i thought he said front brakes. In that case.. doing your pads is easy as pie. You'll need a 12mm and a 17mm. If you have a torque wrench.. the specs are 18 ft lbs for the 12mms and 80 ft lbs for the saddle bolts (i believe). Don't over tighten the 12mm bolts.. i've seen them snap.

you can tell by driving. If you feel the steering wheel shake under braking.. the rotors are warped. If you had a mic' and could measure the thickness that would be great. There's also runout..
but basically.. just look at them and if they have vary thicknesses and look worn down and have are scoured, change them

a warped rotor will cause brake pedal vibration when braking

blank rotors are just the flat surface rotors like your stock ones, cross drilled rotors have a cross drilled hole pattern in them to dissipate heat better, same thing with slotted but slotted rotors will eat your pads up
