How To: Change Rotors/Drum Covers..
this was easier than i expected.. neither of them are bolted on..
start by ensuring you have all your tools.. jack stands.. jack.. new parts you plan to put in.. socket set for the calipers..
lets do the front first.. lift up the ride ensuring to put the jack stands where they go.. take the wheels off.. loosen the calipers.. take them off.. you can hang them from the struts so they arent in your way.. at this point the rotors should be free to pull off.. if not just pound them with a hammer downwards.. rotate the rotor and hit it again on the opposite side.. both of mine were stuck on there so i really had to bang these things.. once they are off you can scrub the calipers down good and paint if you wish.. reverse the order and your done..

the rear is even easier.. take the wheel off and the drum cover should be good to go.. if not bang it with a hammer around the edge.. good luck.. it was an easy day..
