How do you get brake rotors off of a 2005 Scion xb?

To remove the brake rotors from a 2005 Scion xB, follow these steps:

1. Loosen the lug nuts on the wheel that corresponds to the rotor you want to remove. Do not remove the lug nuts completely.

2. Jack up the car and support it securely on a jack stand.

3. Remove the lug nuts and take off the wheel.

4. Locate the two caliper bolts on the back of the caliper bracket. Use a wrench to loosen and remove these bolts.

5. Once the caliper bolts are removed, slide the caliper off of the rotor. Do not let it hang from the brake hose.

6. Use a pry bar or flat head screwdriver to pry between the rotor and the hub. Be careful not to damage the rotor or the hub.

7. Once the rotor is loose, pull it off of the hub.

Repeat steps 1-7 for the other brake rotor if needed.
