Can you replace rotors and not brakes?
It is true that when you replace just the rotors and keep the old brake pads, you save money and time. Even if you can get by with just replacing the rotors, you may want to replace the brake pads at the same time–even if they do not strictly need it. The grooved areas of the pads cannot reach the rotors.
Are new rotors supposed to make noise?
Due to getting new rotors, you will want to make sure the correct replacement rotors have been used. Check the wheels and brakes for excess brake dust. This will also make a squeak, but again, a grinding noise is typically metal on metal, or brake pad stuck.

Remove the two 15 mm mounting bracket bolts. Lift the mounting bracket off the rotor. Remove the brake rotor by pulling it straight off the lugs.
