demand if you have to, most places give lifetime parts warranties.
unless its your stock rotor. then its upto you to fix it.

Here is the How-To.

Just don't kill yourself like I did. I was on narcotic pain killers for a week after doing my front brakes. I managed to pop a rib in my back.

first thing once you get the rotor off (4x4) you need to clean the rust bulid up off the spindle or hub so the new rotor will rest flat on it, not doing this will result in warped rotors as soon as you "torque" the wheels down.
second, new caliper bracket or as he says "C" bracket hardware should have been used and the most important step was over looked, cleaning the rust build up under these hardware clips, not doing this will result in pad bind and will basicley lock the pads on the rotors causing warped rotors and uneven pad wear.
last but not least, dont forget to lube the caliper slide pins and check the dust boots for dammage.
