Default DIY Rotor replacement? Has anyone done it?

Been searching around, maybe I am missing the threads. Has anyone replaced their own rotors? I am pretty good with brakes but wondering if there is anything special about removing the rotors on the LS460? Anyone got a DIY write up? My rotors are warped and I'm pretty sure they are original, and I will probably just throw on some nice new premium rotors and pads on myself, vs paying about the same to have someone turn old rotors and put new pads on. Thanks

I would be interested in this also.

I do have the service manuals, but a DIY if there is one would be helpful

I did mine a few months back when the calipers were being powder coated. Fairly simple...just use a mallet to remove it. Don't need to unplug any of the brake line. You can do a search on my post and there are pictures.
