Default Changing brakes on centerlock wheels

I'll need to put new discs on my '12 GTS in 5-10k miles. Doing my homework. Have parts estimates for OE and Girodisc, but that decision is not yet made.

Since centerlocks are more prevalent here, does anyone know of a DIY for doing this. I've reviewed the one for the 996, but that's for a 5-lug wheel. I'd assume mostly the same, but would like to review one specifically for centerlocks.

Thanks

mostly the same as a regular brake, the only difference is you need to add the nubbins to your new rotors. some people reuse hardware if it's on good conditions, otherwise, you need to replace anything damaged

If you track the car and do a fair number of pad changes, you might consider converting to caliper studs.
