Ok, so my rear brake rotor got bent pretty bad this weekend on a big rock so........

How in god's name do I change that bad boy? Do I need to bleed the brakes....remove the axle......set fire to my younger brother for landing on a rock.....I saw the "how-to bleed the brakes" in the how-to section, but other than that, is there anything other than "bolting and screwing" and going slow I need to do to avoid killing myself, or screwing up my bike?

Also, any brands of rotor to stay away from? Or is it one of those personal preferences (like pipes) that I'm going to get 100 different answers to.

Signed....

Mr. Serving 5-10 for putting a bag over my younger brother, and throwing him in a river.

is it the caliper or the rotor and pics help because to me it sounds like your talking about the rotor, but i may be wrong.

it's easy you just have to take the 2 caliper bolts out and unbolt the rotor i think 4 bolts i here the wave rotor is relly good
