shouldn't the rotors just pull right off?
if not spray some penetrating lube on it and spack it with a huge hammer (NOT on the studs tho) face of the rotor... should just come right off. edit.. ahh I see how it works... u need a bigger slide hammer by the sounds of it |

Remove the 2 bolts holding the caliper mounting bracket to the steering knuckle. These bolts will be tight. Remove the 4 lug nuts holding the rotor.
Remove the bracket from the knuckle. Before removing the rotor, make a mark on the rotor indexing one wheel stud to one hole in the rotor. This assures the rotor will be re-installed in its original position, serving to eliminate minor vibrations in the brake system. |

There's 2 kinds of rotors on the metros. One you need to pull the hub with a slide hammer. The other has 2 philips screws holding the rotor to the hub. Pics would help.
