well after 2 days, 2 18mm sockets, a 18mm ratchet wrench and a few bloody knuckles the new pads and rotors are on. even after soaking everything in PB blaster it was still damn near impossible to get a few of the bolts off. http://gmtruckforum.net/picture.php?...&pictureid=861 <<thats the passenger side rotor and beileve it or not it was the "better" of the two.

 

Damn! Salt has not been kind to that rotor.

 

the backside of the drivers rotor was nothing but rust, you couldnt see a speck of actual rotor and surprisingly everything was in great shape besides the rotors and a few stuck bolts.
