I just switched them out on my 700...takes about a half hour to do. You will need to pull the front calipers off and loosen the bolts a bit on the backing plate.

I switched mine without takeing anything off. Just hammered the old ones out and pressed the new ones in.

What do you mean? There was enough room, I just hammered the old ones out and pressed the new one in. There was lots of room between the hub and the rotor.

It's not too much work anyway. I should probably bring it back into the dealer for them to do it since they should have done it in the first place, but the dealers hours are the same as my work hours.
