Hello, I have a Hyundai Elantra 98 GLS and my brake front right side rotor is gone, and i want to replace it. I can't take the rotor off because the hub is in the way...is there a special tool made that i need to buy/rent to take it off, if i need a C - clamp to take the rotor off. (The break calibur/pads are off already). I have abs brakes if that matters. Thanks...
p.s. if you or someone else knows a website with do it yourself pictures and/or information that would help greatly also thank you....

There are 2 bolts that hold the caliper on. If you take these bolts out the caliper will come off and the rotor can then be removed. This is of course after you have removed the wheel.
You use the c-clamp and a block of wood to push the caliper piston back. Best to have at least a 6" c-clamp.
Check out the site in my sig.

go rent a hub puller from autozone, pepboys, or advance auto parts.
