Once you get the bolts off the rear, 17mm I believe the caliper and bracket should lift off, the rotor will come off, you may have to tap it with a rubber mallet if there is a lot of dust or rust, but all the ones I have seen just come off easy. It's basically a machined fit to the hub, around the wheel studs.

How did you get them off? Just pull? or did you need the hex?

I am getting new pads and rotors and I am not sure about the rotors....

I need some help on this as well. I removed the caliper fine, and i tried screwing in the 8 mm bolts to pop out the rotors but it didn't work. Instead i popped some spring cup holder somewhere behind the rotor.

Don't touch the hex heads. Those split the calipers.

I already removed the caliper so that i could change the pads as well. So when i placed the bolts on the rotor the caliper is not attached in anyway.
