Front Rotors
Okay so I went to finish tearing down the front suspension to replace the bearings and rotors but I have no idea how to separate the front rotors to gain access to the seals bearings and to be able to replace the rotor? Thanks in advance and sorry for the newb Q

You have to drill the rivits out in order to get the rotor off. There will be 5 rivits next to each lug stud. Take a punch and punch the center of each rivit. Next take a small drill bit and drill about and 1/8" down. After you've done that, take a fat drill bit and the head of the rivit will turn right off. Finally get another punch and punch the stem of the rivit all the way through. Your rotor should come right off. If it's rusted, you may need to take a small hammer and tap the hub to get it off.
