2k2 Front Brake Rotor Removal

Does anyone know if you need a wheel-puller to remove the front rotors on a 2k2? Any instructions would be greatly appreciated.

You need a 21mm socket to remove the lug nuts and a 19mm socket to remove the calipers. If the rotor doesn't fall out by then you only need to tap it with a rubber mallet.

there should be a little hole somewhere in the center part of the rotor. if you can find a bolt that can fit in there perfecly, just crank it through & the bolt will push the rotor off the hub
