Alright, the rear rotors on my '91 are old and need changing. I picked up some new rotors. I got the wheel off and the 2 bolts holding the caliper onto the caliper bracket. Do I need to take the actual caliper bracket off to change the rotor or is there some way around this? It looks like I need to. I've tried taking the bolts off that hold the caliper bracket onto the actual main hub and they will not budge. I've tried PB and it still isn't helping. Is there any way to get the rotors off without taking the caliper brackets off? I wish I bought a rust free car.

Thanks
