Sorry for a real noob question but what is the proper procedure for replacing the stock front rotor mounting hardware with the EBR kit (e.g. do you need to remove the caliber and rotor)? If so can someone point me to a thread or video that would help someone with novice mechanical experience?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Obviously, the axle has to come off, otherwise the old rotor won't come off, and the new rotor won't go on. Take your time and be methodical.

I don't have a new rotor...just new mounting hardware...do I still need to remove the wheel (axle, caliper, rotor, etc.) OR can the hardware just be switched out if there is enough clearance to get the springs out?

Just replaced rotor hardware one bolt at a time and seemed to totally cure the horrible rattle in my front end after torque to new spec.
