The rotors are free floating - they're actually held in place by the calipers. Remove the 2 14mm bolts holding on the caliper and pull it off. You may need to hit the CENTER part of the rotor (by the wheel studs) a few times with a rubber mallet to break the rust and other junk off. You'll see the rotor will start to hang loosely then you can pull it off.

Brake lines are tougher - you should get a brake line wrench tool from an auto parts store. It's basically a wrench that will fit the brake line nuts and won't strip them. If you change your brake lines you will need to bleed your brakes. You'll need a brake bleeder wrench so you don't mangle your bleeder valves.

 

good idea about the different wrenches to prevent damage, but totally un-necessary unless you ham-fisted it.

on second thought, he does need a DIY for it, so better take the precautions.

mine were a piece of cake. one bolt behind the caliper to flip it up to take out the pads, a 2nd MUCH longer one to take out the caliper, then hammer off the rotor, unbolt the lines, and bleed the brakes with a friend and an open-ended wrench.

Done in under 1hr.
