Step 6 remove old rotors
Step 7Clean new rotors of any grease or debris
Step 8 install new rotors
Step 9 clean caliper mounting brackets and pad tensioning plates
step 10 reinstall caliper mounting brackets, and torque bolts to about 80ft/lbs
Step 11 apply liberal amounts of Disc Brake Quiet to the back of new pads
Step 12 apply white lithium grease to pad tensioner plates
Step 13 install new pads
Step 14 Using the proper tools, press caliper pistons back into the calipers
Step 15 reinstal the calipers and torque bolts to aboot 20 ft/lbs, but no more
Step 16 reinstal the wheels and lug nuts Tighten lug nuts to aboot 80ft/lbs each, then recheck

RE: Rotor Install.
When you go to compress the caliper pistons back down if you do not open the master cylinder cap to releive pressure off the system when you do this. If your not doing this , you need to , your asking for trouble. I've done a couple of brake jobs in my time.......
