The slip-on type of rotors typically don't fit snugly on the wheel lugs. There is often quite a bit of play, which is fine as long as you never drive with loose wheel lugnuts.
Bad wheel hub bearing? If you are referring to the slip-on type of rotor, then yes, some of them feel loose on the hub and this is normal.
Worn bearings, loose rotor, warped brake rotor, sticking brakes.
Yes. The rotor is held in place from the factory by two clips. These are generally not replaced by some mechanic during a brake service.
No, you can remove and/or replace the front rotors on your Jeep Liberty without having to repack the wheel bearings. To remove the rotor, remove the brake caliper, and then pull the rotor straight off the wheel studs. If the rotor doesn't budge, then use an air hammer to tap the front face of the rotor adjacent to the wheel studs (the flat area of the rotor directly between the wheel studs). This will knock the rust loose and let the rotor slip off the studs. DO NOT use the air hammer on the braking [shiny] surface of the rotor!

The front rotor on the 1999 S10 4 wheel drive will slide off the hub unless it is rusted on, in which case some penetrating oil and a couple gentle taps with a hammer should break it loose.
dodge caravan front brake rotors should come off after removing the brake caliper. first check for any hardware that may hold the rotor in place, then hit the rotor with a hammer, in between the wheel mounting studs. (not on the area where the brake pads make contact. this should knock the rotor loose. good luck.
After you have removed the wheel and caliper it should just wiggle free. Sometime they stick really bad (as is the case with mine), but with enough time and energy even a stuck rotor will come loose. You may try heating it with a torch if it isn't coming off.

You need to remove the caliper. Usually there are 2 bolts/pins that go through the calipers, holding them in place. Once the calipers are off, the rotors should come off quite easily. If it's a front wheel vehicle, the rotor should just pull off. If it's a rear wheel vehicle, the rotor is often integral to the wheel bearing and hub. For a rear wheel caliper, just pull the center wheel bearing cotter pin, nut, remove the wheel bearings and pull the rotor.
