Re: How to remove brakes and rotor from 1998 Chevy...
That depends when they were last taken off. If it's been many years, take it to a brake shop and don't fool with it. Unless you have a big torch, hammers, and lots of patience.

They probably froze on! I have had this happen on several vehicles. You'll have to spray something like WD-40 in between the rotor and whatever space is visible. Pound it loose evenly with a rubber mallet or with a piece of wood and hammer.
Below is the actual text for the rotor removal:
Removal & Installation
Raise and support the front end on jack stands.
Remove the wheel.
Remove the caliper. Do not disconnect the brake hose from the caliper. Use a piece of wire to support the caliper, do not let it hang on the hose.
You should have three screws in the rotor remove them and then turn the axle and re thread the screws you removed to push off the rotor . if there are none just use a rubber hammer and some penitrating fluid
All brake parts are counter clockwise. But what nut are you talking about. Not the axle nut? That doesn't come off. Rotor pops off after caliper is removed.
sounds like you have a brake claiper piston not return causing the brake pads to drag, jack up both wheels and spin to see if you can feel or hear drag, give the wheel a hard spin and see if it stops right away or seems to spin freely, could be the drag of the pads on the rotor, or wheel bearings need repack or even as much as brake residual fluid pressure on calipers cuased by improper brake mc pushrod adjustment, if you have had any recent brake work like a MC replacement it could be that it was not properly adjusted as far as pedal free play... check those.. please let me know if this helps, rate my help...thanks
my front brakes dont release all the way causing my rotors to heat up. I changed calipers, brake hoses, master cylinder, brakes and they still wont release
remove front grill section of font of car ? not sure if that can be done hood on. but at bottom it can be done and reach up like spider man and flip the lever with heavy screwdriver.
