I know there are videos on youtube. There is also a great looking impact screwdriver sold by a vendor on here for the purpose of rotors, among other things. It's not a specialty tool, just a nice to have.

As for parts. Centric makes excellent rotors of OE quality. If they make it, go for the Centric Premium units with painted hubs. Raybestos "Advanced Technology," has a similar rotor with painted hat.

As for pads and sensors, centric has those. you can also get parts from Hawk, and Stoptech. A standard ceramic pad is fine in 80%+ of cases. Towing? opt for a semi-metallic pad.
