Just a simple question. My buddy has a 2005 GMC Sierra Z71. It is his 1st 4X4. He wants to turn his front rotors, because it has a groove cut into it. So with this being his 1st 4X4 the would like to know, because he heard, does he need a specail tool to remove/ instal the rotors from the CV shafts?

No, the rotor just comes off after you take off the caliper. There is no attachment of the rotor to the CV axle. The 05s have a screw that holds the rotor to the hub, but it is just a phillips head.
Cool I will let my friend know. Thanks alot.

you can get new rotors from schucks for pretty cheap, i never have them turned it was like 5 or 10 bucks more for new ones. just an idea.
Schucks? I have never turned a rotor in my life either... however I have had a set of rear drums turned... does that count? lol

autozone probebly had them cheap also, most stock rotors are pretty cheap. drums are a little more expensive, i turned my 1970 lemans drums at a local shop it was cheap and easy.
i like raybestos. i also like powerslots. replaced my fronts with powerslots. it takes about 5-15 to turn a rotor.

if the rotor has a groove in it ya really should just replace it ...
