Hi all,
I am looking to change out the brakes on my 2000 Subaru Outback [150,000 miles] myself for the first time. I've already purchased all of the appropriate parts required and plan on doing this today. I've done the research and know how I am going to go about it, however I do have a couple of questions. Specifically, I am a bit confused about appropriate treatment of the rotors. I've gotten varying answers on how to treat your rotors if they do not need to be replaced. Some people have told me move front rotors to back and vice versa, some people have told me that I am supposed to "turn" them but I'm not exactly quite sure what that means. Some people have said that you have to machine them every time you change your brake pads... at this point I have no idea. I've purchased new rotors for if they do need replacing, but if they do NOT need to be replaced, what should I be doing?
Thanks all
