Yes, you do have to remove the caliper mounts. Removing Front & Rear Rotors Well Guys...
I remove my Front & Rear Rotors out of my 1998 Ford Expedition XLT.
I rented a 3 Jaw Puller from Auto Zone and a bottle of PB Blaster and a sledge hammer it only took about one hour or less to take both off...
The way I removed the Front & Rear Rotors was ...
1. I put lots of PB Blaster in the back and the front of the rotors to be removed.
2. I put plenty of tension with the 3 Jaw Puller...
3. I hit the back of the rotor with the sledge hammer...
And it came right off...
Hope this helps someone out there...

how to remove front rotors on 2003 Nissan fronter 4 wheel drive pick up
To rotate rotors for optimal performance, follow these steps: Ensure the rotors are cool before starting. Loosen the lug nuts on the wheels. Lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands. Remove the wheels to access the rotors. Use a wrench to remove the caliper and bracket. Slide off the old rotor and replace it with a new one. Reassemble the caliper and bracket. Put the wheels back on and tighten the lug nuts. Lower the vehicle and test drive to ensure proper rotation.
Put emergancy brake on, then jack up the front enfd remove tires, use a 3/8 Allen tool to remove the caliper mounting bolts. Then remove the brake caliper, and remove pads from caliper. Next push piston caliper into the caliper, reinstall the caliper. Re install the front wheels, lower the vehicle, pump the brakes until they are hard once again, and your ready to drive again.
If you are wondering whether it is possible to replace one's own brake rotors or not because you drive an older vehicle that need brake rotors replaced, then the answer is no.
remove wheel ,remove calipers, remove centre bearing nut then slide off disc. be carefull not to drop the bearing in dirt
The rotor and hub is an assembly, you need to take the wheel off, remove the brake caliper, use a hex drive to remove the lockout assembly, then there is a special socket you need to use to remove the bolt holding the hub in place.
Front or rear rotors and 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive, it makes a difference.
Remove wheel, brake caliper, brake disc, parking brake shoes etc. Drive out broken stud, replace with new stud. Replace above in reverse order.

1/2, 3/4, or 1 ton PU? The half ton "fall off" after you take the caliper off For the heavy duty trucks you need to remove the caliper, unbolt the CV shaft axle nut, and remove the wheel bearing, then unbolt the rotor from the bearing
