I just got a set of cross drilled/ slotted rotors and pads/ brake lines for my 98 GS-T. I found the link to removing stuck rotors but I can't find anything else. My question is, what else do I have to remove before the rotor will come off? Just the caliper & bracket? Thanks
 
You'll need to remove both the caliper and bracket before you can attempt to remove the rotor. The motor may be frozen in place if so I'd suggest soaking the seam between the rotor and hub with PB Blast to help you break it free from the hub. After letting the penetrating oil soak, screw the bolts into the rotor and start tightening them down equally to remove the rotor. If its not frozen, you'll be able to slide the rotor right off after the caliper and bracket are removed.
 
Thanks dude, that's what I was thinking. Well looks like it will be another weekend in the driveway if the weather is OK. By the way, wasn't your car in an RC magazine a long time ago? I use to be in to RC cars kinda heavy when I was growing up and I remember seeing that talon with the funky paint.
