Brake Rotors
ok my local auto shop told me they could turn both of my front rotors for like 5.25 a piece.i dont know which one is causin me problems so ill just do em both.exactly what is the procedure for getting them off? also can i put the tires back on with the rotors off? cause bonnie would have to sit around all day on injured reserve and i dont really wanna have it on jacks that long.i just wouldnt be able to go about my day knowing a strong wind could come up or somethin

Jack it up and remove both front wheels.
Using a large hex (allen key) wrench (which size? 3/8"? Remove the caliper bots (from the inside of each caliper).
Lift the calipers off the rotors, and use a coat hanger to support them so they don't hang from the brake line.
If you have them, remove 2 or 3 metal retainer clips from your rotors/lugs. Slide the rotors off.
If your lugnuts are "open face" you may be able to put the wheels back on, but I wouldn't recommend it. Just leave it on stands.
