Hi! I'm able to remove the caliper, the brake pads, and the carrier, but I'm unable to remove the rotors themselves. I don't see any set screws to unscrew. Can you please tell me how to remove these Grand Caravan rotors? My engine size is the 3.8 liter engine. Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Jerry

Once the brake caliper and adapter bracket have been removed there should be clips retaining the rotor to the wheel studs. If so, remove those. If not, the rotor should slide off of the hub and bearing. If it is difficult, try banging on it between the studs with a rubber mallet. The rotors can sometimes become stuck due to brake heat.
