The fronts are cake as long as you can get that rotor screw off.  You may
want to soak it with some spray lube for a while (ie. liquid wrench, WD-40).

The rears are trickier because you have to twist the brake piston while
pushing it in.  I think there is a special tool for it (or you can make
one), unless you already know what I'm talking about.  :P

I am getting ready to sell my '97 GLX and to do that I am replacing all of
the Rotors and pads.  Are there any gotcha's to look out for?  I have done
lots of brake jobs on BMW's but never a VW so I don't know if there are any
inside tricks to make the job go smoother.
