Here is a guide that will help with this:

Also, the only way to know for sure which size rotor you have is to measure the current one or look the VIN up on a dealers parts system and have them give the specific part number.

However, here is the process on how to replace these from the manual. Let's run through this material and let me know if you have questions. Thanks
