Ok guys, this might sound like a funny question, but how difficult is it to replace my rotors on Ol' Yeller? Do I need any special tools? What other parts should I replace while I'm there? I already have new rotors, calipers, and and brake pads. Any info or pics would be great. Thanks.

You may want to do the wheel bearings at this time too, you will need a 4wheel drive removal tool (not sure the technical name) I opted not to do it and a year after the brake job my wheel almost fell off cause the bearings were ground to metal shavings.
