remove wheel....remove the two bolts holding the brake caliper hang aside as the brake line is still connected then pull the rotor off....Im sure there are some how twos with pictures if you really need it but changing disc brakes is the same on any car.

lighten up on the guy. He is making an effort to learn. Also if you are going to flame people make sure you spell things right. It's "an", not "and." To the original poster you may also have to bang the old rotors a little bit with a hammer to break them free. Overall though it is very easy to do.

the rotor gets stuck sometimes so what u will see is two holes on the hat that have threads, just remove one of the screws that bolt down the radiator brackets to the frame and screw it into the threaded hole in the rotor and it will pop it off.

Lmao. Love that info! I usually use a combination of kicking, WD40 and violently shaking (using jackstands) to get it off.

Dang I did not know this. One time one of my front rotors was so stuck I had to use pb blaster to get it off. Nothing worked aside from that.

when reinstalling the rotors, sand the back where it touches the hub and also sand the hub and use some grease and they would always come out easily
