Theoretically true, but if the '98 is like the '93 in this respect it takes
an act of god to get the rotors off. It requires 90% of the work to change
the drive axle and still more after that; the rotor is on the back side of
the steering knuckle. Knowing that rotors once warped and turned have a
reputation for warping again, I would definitely go with new ones. Of
course, if the rotors are on the outside it isn't so important.

The author of the latter site ("Tegger") is Canadian. Maybe
he can comment.
