How do you remove the front brake rotors from a 1997 Mazda Protege?

To remove the front brake rotors from a 1997 Mazda Protege, first, lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Remove the front wheels, then remove the caliper by unbolting it from the bracket; hang it securely to avoid strain on the brake line. Next, remove the caliper bracket and then unscrew the rotor retaining screws if present. Finally, slide the rotor off the hub; if it's stuck, gently tap it with a rubber mallet to loosen it.
