Hi Tom, I changed the subject line to better reflect this topic. The method you outlined is exactly the way I handle changing the rotor. I originally tried using one hand and 2 fingers, and I had some success, but holding the phone to my chest and using both hands works almost flawlessly. I'd say my ability to change the rotor on each turn with 2 hands is over 90%, far better than I ever could accomplish using one hand.
