    Rotors

    you have to take the complete Knuckle off the car, This means undo the big nut, undo the strut, tie rod and ball joint, take the complete knuckle put it in a big vice and pound the crap out of the inner bearing untill the thing pops out. then you have to undo the 4 bolt that hold the rotor on. Regrease your bearings, or buy new ones, put your new rotor on and go back to the vice and pound the thing back together carefully so you have the correct preload on the bearings. Or you could take the car in to a shop that has a fixed price for brake jobs and let them do the work.

      If you just need them turned go to a shop that turns them on the car... much simpler than removing them and safer as you avoid possible bearing contamination.
