Anyone ever change the front rotors and pads on a Camry? Need any special tools?

nope no special tools. the caliper bolt should be a 14mm and same for the bracket if your going to change out the rotor. if your not going to put new rotors on i recomend getting them resurfaced. my shop charges about 35 bucks to do the pair. so it should be similar to that in your area.
thanks, i think i'll just get new rotors, they are only about $25 each. how do you get the rotors off?
well, it went pretty easily. new rotors cost $21 each, the cheapest shop was $20 each to turn them, so i just bought new ones.
the only snag was that one of the lug nuts was frozen or stripped or something and wouldn't come off, so the stud snapped. of course, i didn't have an extra stud sitting around, so i had to put it back together without it. so tonight i get to take it apart again to replace the stud. shouldn't take but maybe 30 minutes though.
i'm going to use a big a$$ c-clamp and a short section of 1/2" plumbing pipe to press it in
2 other nuts were sort of rough and needed the wrench to get them off the whole way ... should i just go ahead and replace them all while i'm doing it? then i wouldn't have to worry about it again.
