If it is anything like our '93 (and I think it is) replacing the rotors is a
real big hairy deal. The main part is to remove the drive axles - no
fooling! If the rotors aren't in a bad way now, take the new rotors back and
stick with just the pads. I don't know what was meant about the "press on"
part, but I spent half a day doing my daughter's... and that was with air
tools. (I'm not a fast worker on cars.) There are other challenges, but
let's just say it is memorable. I will never again put off checking her
brakes.
