The steps in this guide are used to replace the brake rotors on all Focus models in the 2005-2007 generation, except for the ST model, which has slightly different brakes. Caution should be exercised when working with brake and suspension components, and proper safety goggles should be worn at all times.
Whenever working on your car's brakes and suspension, work on one side at a time. Keep the other side completely assembled so that you can reference it at any time.
This guide includes steps to replace the brake pads, in addition to the rotors. It is strongly suggested that brake rotors are not replaced by themselves. Never drive a car if the brakes on one side only are changed, because the car will "pull" to one side.

The time indicated is way off. 4 hours to replace disk brakes??? He must have gotten tired and gone for a 3 hour nap. I regularly do a set of front disks in an hour or less.
1) Removing a few ounces of brake fluid is something I have never done - and I have never seen any mechanic do it.
2) Spraying the caliper guide bolts with penetrating oil will help free the bolts.
3) The article doesn't mention that the caliper piston will have to be compressed to fit over a new rotor. Use a large C-clamp for this task.
4) Turning a rotor is a bad idea. You end up with a thin rotor that will warp easily. A new rotor is cheaper than the cost for turning one.
Stan, Your comments weren't necessary and they were rude. The intention of this blog is to educate not brag. Sounds like you are discouraging helpful blogs like this one because "you know it all". You used the word regular in your comment. This blog clearly isn't for experts. Chill!, and watch what happens with this generous man's excellent tutorial. The pictures are outstanding. David, you ought to be a technical writer. One like the one who probably wrote Stan's training manuals or Chiltons.
That retaining clip was a bear!! Thanks for the info. I found this very helpful. However, please wear shoes if you do this!!
Thanks - John
