how do you remove the rotors?

Removing the front rotors was no problem on my 2005 Hyundai Elantra. The Elantra has two recessed Phillips screws holding each rotor to the hub. Spray the screws with PB penetrating fluid (available at most auto parts stores) and let soak as directed. Then use a hand impact tool (available at most hardware or tool stores) and hammer to break the screws loose without stripping the Phillips slot. The impact tool has a Phillips screw driver bit on the end of a hand held metal shaft. With the bit in the screw and the tool set to counterclockwise direction, smack the end of the impact tool a time or two with a hammer. The impact will break the screw free. Then remove both screws with a screw driver. After removing the screws, the rotors came right off.
