How do you get the front brake rotor off 2003 Camry?
I have an 03 Camry as well... I'll suppose you are starting with the car supported and the front wheels off... Remove the brake caliper by removing the 2 bolts behind the rotor securing the caliper to the caliper bracket. Swing the caliper up and off of the rotor and secure out of the way...do NOT let the caliper hang by the brake hose. The brake rotor should just slip straight out from the hub...if not use a hammer to tap around the outer edge to release the rust between the hub and the rotor...
