How do the front brake rotors come off this truck. Once I loosen the caliper, will the rotor slide off with the assistance of a hammer or are there nuts/bolts that hold it to the hub?

I think you have slip off rotors on that one. After you remove the caliper, it may come right off, or you might need to remove the caliper brackett.
