Default IIIRC ECS has an easy-to-understand visual depiction of measuring the two

types. Go to their website, pull up brake rotors for our cars, and scroll down the page. All you need is a ruler to figure out what you have.

Default Not for the rear rotors; I just replaced mine this past week used

only std. tools. Now, to replace the pads on the rears, you'll certanly be better off using on of the brake caliper tools you can get from Autozone for free (initial deposit required, fully refunded when you return the tool).
