Question OK to replace just 1 brake rotor?

I need to replace on of the rear rotors on my 2007 Explorer. Do I need to replace both if replacing 1?

You can replace just one. But if replacing pads, always do them in sets. If one rotor is worn out, figure out why and fix it before throwing another one on. They should wear out approximately at the same rate, so if one is in need of replacement, and the other is not, then something is probably wrong.

Also what makes you say it needs to be replaced. Have you checked the spec's. Or is there wear grooves.
