Default Another Brake job question- removing rotors

Is there a writeup on pulling the front rotors and removing the calipers?
Found the brake pad writeup.

Thanks,

Marc the inept mechanic

Try Renntech. Though I must add that a shot or two of PB Blaster on the caliper and rotor nuts are HIGHLY recommended. The caliper bolts also usually get rusted and seized up. Some folks have had to re-tap the caliper carrier since it's an aluminum unit and the nut seized.

Good luck and happy wrenching.
