Front Rotor Removal on 2000 Pontiac

#1

I thought it would be pretty easy to change the brakes on my 2000 Grand Prix,
but had trouble getting the rotor off to get it turned. I got the pads out,
but couldn't figure out exactly how to get the rotor off. It was still held in
place by the outer frame of the brake caliper. The bolts were pretty tight and
I didn't want to force anything. Any help? Thanks...

You do need to take those bolts out to get the rotor off. They are very
tight for a good reason. I have had to use a 3 foot breaker bar to get some
off and I have yet to break any bolts.

Good luck!
