Default rotor replacement

I'm looking for some help on how to replace my front and rear rotors.
Anyone have a howto.
I searched the forum but no luck.

Pretty easy, as posted above. But if you don't know what your doing use a repair manual. This may help (I'm sure you've seen it before) http://iihs.net/fsm/?dir=41

You had better include 'remove the rotor clips' into your
tutorial or some greenhorn will be dead in his tracks when
he has the tires and calipers off but the rotors wont budge....
And you might as well also add 'jack up front end' to your
how-to-do-it list also or someone will remove the lugs without
removing the vehicle weight first.
Idiot Proof Tutorials are just not that easy to write up...

Are you wanting to go drilled/slotted or just slotted or just plain?

Holes are over rated and perform no function
except to have a place for a crack to start...
