Karl: I have a 98 GMC 1 ton (3500) and have done the brakes 3 times. First time I just changed the pads.The second time I had a shop do it ($200.00) and they turned the rotors on the vehicle.The third time I pulled the rotors just like Dan mentioned (had to use a puller to break rotor off the spindle) and the next time a shop is going to do them. With the hub pressed on to the rotor it was hard for the machine shop to set them up to turn. After I bought pads and had the rotors turned I was into the job close to $125.00 and close to 5 hours of my time. I am not a novice at this sort of stuff and had all the right equipment. Again as Dan mentioned the best thing to do is make sure you use premium pads.
