Rotor???

My rotors are glazed over and making making noises so I bought replacements and new pads. The rotors do they slide off and slide new ones on?(I know caliper has to be off and all)

Yes, They should just slide off after you remove the "cage" unless they've become frozen on due to corrosion.

If they're for the front, you'll have to remove the cotter pin, castle nut then they'll slide out. Going back on you'll want to check and repack your bearings and install a new seal on the back of the rotor. Then preload your castle nut. A search will get you more info than you'll ever need. Just make sure you've got the seals and grease before you start.

Sorry, I guess about 99% of the cars I work on any more are front wheel drive that I don't think about the the rear wheel drives with the intregrated front hub/rotor.
