RE: Installing Floaters
I would expect that when you are done you will re read your original question and chuckle to yourself -
As noted - don't forget to secure the bike to the lift - once you pull the front wheel, the bike may no longer be balanced - boom...
Good luck - a very good update to your braking system - plan on doing mine in about a week

RE: Installing Floaters
Man, dumbass attacks from every direction
1) You don't HAVE to take the wheel completely out, I was able to give a pump or two on the lift, enough to lower the wheel and remove the discs, but obviously the axle has to come out, so a lift is necessary.
2) I ordered the wrong gd'd part. Thankfully Jenni at Bengy's is very helpful and will get the correct parts out to me asap. I just have to ship these back.
Anyway, I figured since I'd gone this far, I'd see if the rotor swap worked since I had both rotors off anyway, and, no kidding, it worked.
Get a little squeal while backing up, but they're dead silent while moving foward.
So...lessons learned.
Thanks for the responses.
