i have an 89 civic and do i need an impact gun to take the rotors off to get them cut or what do i need to do?
 
1. Remove caliper
2. Remove rotor retaining screws (use manual impact screwdriver)
3. Remove rotor

Easy.
 
what is a manual impact screwdriver? i always got buy by using a big screwdriver and a hammer (pound the screwdriver into the screw to try and break it free a little) but it is still a bitch

It's a manual impact tool... you hit the mandrel with a hammer while applying turning force with your hand, and a wedge inside the mandrel forces the driver to turn like 20 degrees per hit. You get about 200ft/lbs of torque per hit. It's MUCH better than just hammering a screwdriver in... I guess you're one of the ones that hammers it in so far that the screw strips, and I have to end up drilling the bitches out to remove the rotors.
 
no i dont strip them, never have, but it is a possibility, i will check that out, looks like a good investment, thanks.
 
Damn, i never knew about that tool, fuck and all this time I always get nuts with those two little ass phillips screws. Good input and pic Calesta.
