SO I am doing the brakes ...fronts, caliper is off ..no problem , I took out the 4 12mm bolts that hold the rotor on, but the rotor does not come off..what am I missing, besides gray matter????:banghead:

The rotors are difficult to remove on our years...

See Figures 4 and 5

If equipped with an air bag, disconnect the negative battery cable and properly disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), as detailed in Chassis Electrical (http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?ForwardPage=/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/0d/0b/57/0900823d800d0b57.jsp).
Loosen the lug nuts, then Raise and safely support the vehicle on jackstands.
Remove the wheels.
Remove the steering knuckle from the vehicle. Please refer to Suspension & Steering (http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?ForwardPage=/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/0d/1b/39/0900823d800d1b39.jsp)for procedures.
Remove the 4 bolts retaining the hub unit to the steering knuckle and remove the hub unit.

To install:

Assemble the disc to the hub unit and tighten the bolts to 40 ft. lbs. (55 Nm).
When installing the hub to the knuckle, use new self-locking bolts and tighten them to 33 ft. lbs. (45 Nm).
Install the steering knuckle.
Lower the vehicle and check for proper brake operation.
If equipped, enable the SRS system and connect the negative battery cable.

Do you see a real need to replace the rotors? You don't always need to replace them unless they are scored. And as Jeff stated, replacing them requires special tools.
