brake question

A few weeks after(naturally) i got my 05 max (38k) the brakes started making a repeating "THUD" noise everytime i hit the break, for example the "THUDS" sound are closer to each other when going faster, and farther apart when going slow. Please correct me if im wrong but judging by the sounds it seems that the rotors
are warped, comfirmation of this came yesterday cuz while i was driving i could feel a bit of vibration while driving at high speeds.

heres are my questions:
are the rotors difficult to install? ive already checked the pads and they are brand new, but couldnt remove the huge screws(too tight) that hold the inner brake part to the car (not the caliper).

any help is appreciated/

this is when going faster that the "thud" gets quicker right? it could be that the rotor is warped for sure..

the rotors are an easy swap once you remove the caliper and bracket, the thing is those braket bolts are kinds hard to take off.

that big bolt you are talking about don't need to come off, thats too take off the whole assembly and is not needed to do.

just take off the caliper and braket for the front, just the caliper for the rear, and thats it. the rotor might need some bangin to come off, it might be rusted on.
