Sorry man but I have no idea.... but I do know the wheels have to be off. When the wheels are off, the rotors simply slide off the studs. The rotors are held into replace by the tire when you torque down the lug nuts. If the rotors don't simply fall off when the wheels come off, give them a bang with a rubber mallet a few times to free them up from the hub. Watch the videos above. Youll see how the rotors just come off...
EDIT: Let me rephrase this. Remove the caliper. After the caliper is off, remove the brake pads then the brake pad housing bracket... THEN the rotor falls off. Sorry, I forgot about those 4 extra bolts. Just watch the video above LOL

after the criticism they took from people who have never used them I think it might be a good idea if we all post up how they work(ed) for us

Look for rotors made right here in the USA....
some drilled and slotted rotors are very noisy! especially when first installed! tony96gt took his back off because he couldnt stand it! we both looked long and hard at what was going on and it was simply the pads running over the holes that caused a strange noise! the second person i have seen this happen to. i know that his came from summit racing also here in ohio.

If you are in an '03 with original brake fluid.... you NEED to replace it, after 9 years. In such a case, take it to someone who can help or do it for you. Look into the reservoir.... is the fluid basically clear or does it look like Guinness?

I don't known what others do for bleeding brakes but I bought the motive power bleeder and it makes doing bleeding sooooo much simpler.
