DIY Brake Rotors on 03?

Hi guys

Could you guys please post pictures on how to remove the brake rotors? I want to replace it with brembo rotors, is there part number that I can have for the front and rear?

Thank you so much.

The short story is that you need to remove the caliper mounting bracket, then the set screw on the rotor hat, then lightly tap the rotor to slide off. For the rear, you'll need to back off the parking brake shoes. There's tons of info here about changing the pads/rotors and disabling the SBC for brake work.
