Changing the rotors on my gs4,Need help
I'm in need of help for changing out the rotors. I have a 98 gs4 and i did the brakes yesterday,but i can't seem to take out the rotors when i was doing my pads. My question is does the rotor just slides out of the hub when u take out the caliper bracket? I took out the bolts and the caliper bracket and still the rotor seems to be stuck in there. Is there another bolt that holds the rotor in place? Or is the rotor just kinda seized on there?

Take off the calipers completely. There are (2) 17mm bolts holding the caliper. After you remove the caliper, the rotors should slide right off. If it is seized, then get yourself a 10MM bolt and there should be a hole on the rotor where you can put the bolt in and rachet its way in. That will pull the rotors off. This is for the front, which i'm assuming you're doing.

Yes....after removing the entire caliper....the rotor should free up. Most times....its seized on by corrosion. I tried various sizes of bolts....10mm, 9mm, 8mm, etc....nothing fit to pop it off. What I eventually did was use my OEM car jack....wedged it to the inside of the fender well (used some 2x4 lumber) and started cranking it. The car jack will push the rotor off. It will make a big noise....esp if the rotors is ejected off....so watch your toes.
