Hey I am doing front rotors on a 1999 Nissan Quest GXE and I was wondering if you had to take the axle nut off when you take off the front right rotor. The left front rotor came off fine but the rotor was not connected to the axle nut. Can you give a diagram or something so I can find out what my next move will be.

The other rotor is just stuck. Sometimes they have to be "persuaded"...with a hammer. Rust sometimes builds up on the hub mating surface and causes them to get stuck. Don't be afraid to beat on it.
