2000 Disco II Front Brakes replace

[jrichards64]

I own a 2000 Disco II, and I'm just trying to get my head around whether or not I can do the replacement job on the front brakes. The replacement parts look pretty straightforward; rotors, pads, and a Phillips-head rotor screw, but I need to know the following:
1. Do the new rotors need to be machined before installing?
2. Is there a torque spec for the rotor screw?

Anyone do this before? I've replaced brakes a few times, and consider myself to be relatively mechanically inclined, so unless there are special tools or techniques, I feel pretty confident I can do the job.

Thanks for your help!

Do not turn the rotors... very bad on any Rover Rotors.

Other than that it is fairly easy.

Joey, can you please provide more details? So, I don't need to machine the rotors... I'm assuming the rotor/pad replacement is fairly straightforward? Any gotchas or details are greatly appreciated...

Thanks!
