ok from memory
loosen the lugs
jack up the wheel
take of the wheel
with a 14mm socket/wrench take off the caliper
with a 17mm /18mm ? take off the caliper bracket
rotor comes off
is the rotor stuck ? with some well placed hit it will pop off
still stuck ???
there should be threaded holes ,
get a bolt that fits and start threading it in
It should pop off then
If i made a mistake ..then some one pleae correct me
loosen the lugs
jack up the wheel
take of the wheel
with a 14mm socket/wrench take off the caliper
with a 17mm /18mm ? take off the caliper bracket

I believe 17mm applies to all four calipers, when you reassemble torque the rear calipers at 77 ft/lbs and the front at 87 ft/lbs, if you bleed the bleeder screws spec is 8 ft/lbs. If you haven't done this before take two lugs and install them on opposite sides of the rotor to get it fully seated before trying to reinstall the calipers, good luck.

I used to have a Cutlass and it had the rotor which used to ride on the spindle. The rotor assembly looked like a hat.
