To get that off the only extra work needed with the rotors off is to remove the e-brake pads and springs then 4 small bolts. They are set up like mini drum brakes in the center of the rotor, so if you are familiar with drum brakes would be an easy task for ya.

Come to think of it, I remember the fronts being trapped in with the hub plate... the rears might be as well, but it's been a while since I've changed front hub bearings and I don't think I ever changed rears. When I get time later I'll look up the labor operations for conformation.

Just to update this thread, i got all 4 rotors and pads replaced today.
For the rear protection plates it is exactly as you mentioned earlier, so i got those swapped out. They look nice now. As for the front protection plates, it requires replacing the hub and bearing, i will be ordering those parts and then i can get the front protection plates replaced. Quote:
