I have an 89 Tp, its smokey and leaky but i am driving it until it becomes too smokey to actually drive. My problem is that in the wet my front brakes stop and the rear brakes... well... don't. I nearly hit a car today at the lights because the magna went sideways across two lanes. The rear rotors are so warped that you can actually see it from a metre away. I think this may have something to do with it and i have a spare set of rotors so i was wondering how hard is it to change them over? removal+replacement
