Replacing 2003 Rotors
 
I have a 2003 Chevy Blazer ls 4x4, and i want to replace the rotors. I have never done this, and i have looked at a few videos, but most of them are for 2 wheel drive vehicles. Once i pull the tire and the caliper off, where do i go from there? Does the rotor require just some force, or are there blots holding it on? Should i replace the wheel bearings as well? The vehicle only has about 93000 miles on it, but the previous owner did not take care of it and the rotors are in pretty bad shape. Any help at all would be appreciated.

rotors may need some coaching, as far as wheel bearings go I would only replace them if they are bad and if you are having trouble just changing rotors I would be careful if you have limited skill set as they can be a little difficult

The rotors are just floating, so once you get the caliper off, they will slide right off of the studs.
and x2 on the wheel bearings, If they are not making any noise, I would not worry about them.

pull the caliper,and pull on the rotor. it'll pop right off with little force. Make sure you clean the new rotors with some brake cleaner. they are covered in cosmoline from the factory to prevent storage rust. if you dont they will smoke for days.
