Disc brake replacement (Rotors)
One of my rear brake discs is very close to tolerance thickness and I need to change it for a new one. I would like to have some guidelines in order to do this job. Do I need to change both rear brakes discs at the same time or only the faulty one? Do I also need to change both brake pads or use the old ones or install brand new brake pads? What should I do?

Might as well replace both rotors. Protex have good cheap replacements - about $90/pair.
If the old pads are OK, and you are happy with them, then use them. There is a lot of info that suggests that new rotors should be run in using old pads.

Please some guide lines to replace the rear brake discs. Rear disc brakes replacement are not as easy as the front ones. Do I change both discs or only one? The rear houses the hand brake mechanism.

Peter where can you get a pair of Protex Rotors for $90? I tried asking few places and the cheapest was $170 for a pair. Anyone got them for cheaper than that?
