Rotor replacement

[ElNormo]

I swapped out rear brake pads a few weeks ago. Now it's time to do front pads & all four rotors. I should have done rear rotors at the time! They didn't look worn, but they failed inspection.

I've got everything ready to order from BMA. Are there any pitfalls I should know about? The rear pads were pretty simple, and I see I was one step away from replacing rotors when I was there. Are the front pads any more challenging?

Thanks

be sure to bleed the brakes fully if you havent done it in over a year. do a partial bleed before changing the pads (4 pumps per caliper should do it) then full bleed the system after changing them.

What is the purpose of partial bleeding before changing pads? Curious-
