Brake calipers are the hydraulic devices that wrap around the rotors and pinch the brake pads into the rotors when you stop.
take the wheels off, unbolt the brake calipers and the pull them off and now you can just pull the rotors off.
Brake system usually has the following components: 1) brake pedal 2) brake fluid tank 3) brake system hoses 4) calipers 5) rotors 6) pads p.s. If it's a drum brake system - brake drums replace calipers and rotors.
Are you asking about brake discs?A re't they slip off rotors? remove the front tires then the calipers then slip off the rotors.
If the truck has disc brakes on the rear then the park brake shoes are located inside the rear rotors. You have to remove the brake calipers, pads and rotors to access them
Rear Calipers sticking. Replace the calipers and drain and flush the entire brake system. In addition, replacing the rotors when you install new pads will make them last longer. Worn rotors will not mate properly to the new pads, causing uneven wear.

You probably have a warped brake rotor. New rotors are fairly inexpensive, I would replace both front rotors and brake pads while your in there. The calipers and sliders along with the brake hoses and lines need to be examined also.
take wheels off, remove brake calipers. rotors slide right off.
warped brake rotor or drum The shaking can be caused by the rotors being warped out, it can be fixed by ither get the rotors machined "turned" if there is enough metal on it the mechanic will measure it before he turns it, if it do not meet the thickness requirement, then you must replace both rotors, left and right along with the brake pads too, and also I highly recommend to replace the brake calipers too, since they also can be worned down to where it can be a hazard, and to have your brake lines and master cylinder cleaned and flushed out. Also have your back brakes check out too along with the drums or rear rotors too, and also I recommend to replace the brake cylinder or calipers which ever the case might be.
It's called a taper. Time to replace the rotors, calipers and brake pads.
jack it up remove the wheel then the brake calipers then the rotors should slide off
