It isn't allways an easy task!
FWIW, the last rotor turn I performed on my '93 K2500 I took the truck to a shop that had an on-the-car brake lathe. 65 bucks later, both front rotors turned and trued and I didn't have half a day in dissasembly, taking the rotors to a shop and back, then reassembly.
I think GM has the brake porportion from front to rear mal-aligned on the GMT 400 platform K2500 and 3500 trucks, they are hard on front brakes.
