Will the front rotors on a Mazda Protege come off without removing the wheel bearings?

Yes, the front rotors on a Mazda Protege can typically be removed without taking off the wheel bearings. You generally just need to remove the caliper and caliper bracket, then detach the rotor, which is usually held in place by retaining screws or the wheel hub assembly. However, if the rotors are stuck due to rust or corrosion, additional effort may be required to free them. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific procedures and recommendations.
