The rotor may require resurfacing by an automotive machine shop if necessary. Besides, check whether the rotor thickness is within limits of specified minimum thicknesses set by manufacturer. To remove unbolt caliper mounting bracket, remove lug nuts and then take off disk from hub. If you are removing rear disc also disconnect caliper mounting bracket from rear knuckle.
