Replacing the brake pads is easy, and it's just like any other, but taking off the rotor is a bit more complicated than usual because of the locking hubs.

No, you don't need to do anything with the rotor if you just wan to replace the pads.

However, it's a good idea to inspect them, and do something if you see some major problems. I usually have them turned or replaced at every 2nd or 3rd set of pads.
