How to prevent rotors from rusting

dsakattack says:

Another great video. Appreciate the fast forward editing from the front brake video. Clearly the hardest part is removing the old rotor! Thanks again!

PROTIP: If you take the clips off of the brake pad bracket, you can take the rotor off without having to remove the bracket. Saves a bit of time!

Question, do you have to have that software to replace the pads? just curious. i removed the pads already, took the top off with the 13 mm bolts to get to the pads. just have a real hard time removing the caliper to replace the rotors. there is literally no room for my tools. any ideas? I already did the front ones, thanks to your video. just surprised how you took the two 18mm bolts off, I have been trying for over an hour! just wont come loose!

Your videos are excellent!!!!! But I have 1 question do you have to use the VCDS system on the front brakes when your about to change them? Or is it only the rear brakes you have to use the VCDS system?
