Want to change pads and rotors . rotors seem to be difficult to remove, any suggestions? I also have a couple of lug nuts that may be galded up. Is this a common problem on these cars. The lug nuts have the plastic rings that hold the hubcap on can these be purchased anywhere on line?

^ actually if you pop the top on the brake fluid resivior (sp duh?) they goi right in because the pressure is relieved...its not a big deal...as long as you have the tool of coarse...

yeah a three lbs sledge from the back side and some heat would help as well...

the steelies you can get off just by beating on the tire with a rubber mallet (i had to do this when i took my wifes car in for some tires...the owner came up and saw that i was having trouble...he litterally grabbed the largest rubber mallet...probably about 3lbs and whaled them...they popped right off and then i put some anti sieze on the back side of them so hopefully it doesnt happen again.
