Brake rotor help

I have a 1995 suburban 3/4 ton 4wd

I am an idiot. Does the spindle bolt have to come off to remove the brake rotors?

Or, does the rotor seperate from the hub while it is on?

Auto zone has some basic how to manuals at its site.

1.Raise and support the front of the vehicle safely using jackstands.

2.Remove the tire and wheel assembly.

3.Remove the brake caliper mounting bolts and carefully remove the caliper (along with the brake pads) from the rotor. Do not disconnect the brake line; instead wire the caliper out of the way with the line still connected.

Once the rotor is removed from the vehicle the wheel bearings may be cleaned and repacked or the bearings and races may be replaced. For more information, please refer to the wheel bearing procedures in Chapter 1 of this manual.



4.Carefully pry out the grease cap, then remove the cotter pin, spindle nut, and washer.

5.Remove the hub, being careful not to drop the outer wheel bearings. As the hub is pulled forward, the outer wheel bearings will often fall forward and they may easily be removed at this time.
