Punch, your rotor should slide off. Do not take off the big nut
holding the hub assembly on! Clean and lubricate the slides/bolts that
the calipers slide on, and clean and lubricate the contact spots that
the top/bottom of the pads ride on. Resurface or replace the rotors,
and wash them real good before installing them.
A quality brake job ends with properly torquing the caliper mounting
bolts, and then the lug nuts on the wheels. Not taking the 2 minutes to
do this can lead to brake squeal, pedal pulsation, and warped rotors.
Take it for a test drive, and stop from about 40 mph 5-10 times
gently. Dont go out and slam them on, that will glaze the pads and make
them squeal.
Oh yeah, dont forget to check, and then clean and adjust the rear
brakes if they are still good. It brings the pedal up and makes the
e-brake hold better.
