Replacing 98 VDP brake rotors

I'm going to be replacing the rotors on a 1998 VDP. Are they mechanically attached to the hub or just free floating? Thanks.

They are free of the hub, held in place by the wheel lug nuts. May have to tap one or more to free them if there is rust or corrosion. Also you will have to remove the caliper holder to remove the rotor.

Changed my front ones Sunday on the '01 XJ8. Pretty straightforward. How did it go gunner 123?

Rear Rotors and brake pads

We traded in our 98 VDP for a new car. I never got around to installing the rear slotted rotors and brake pads. If you are interested in them, I will give you a great deal on them. Please respond and I'll provide the information about where I ordered them from.
