The last thing to fix up on my newly acquired 200sx is change the rusty rear discs...
This should be an easy off easy on, right? I don't have to disconnect the calipers or do anything too time consuming? And how do the discs come off the hub? Just slide off with a little force?
Thx in advance for all your help, I've never done this before, any help would be greatly appreciated
If the hat of the rotor is rusted, don't bother replacing it. I just replaced my severely damaged rear rotors not too long ago and the middle got rusted in about a week. It's supposed to rust over, it's bare metal, not gonna hurt anything.
As for the faces of the rotor. They will rust over when the car isn't in use, but the pads should clean them every time you hit the brake. If they aren't self-cleaning, then there's something wrong.

The rust is on the actual face of the rotor
I just got the car couple of months ago, didn't have much time to work on it, but when i changed the front brake pads they were really worn out. I was going to change the rear ones too, but the one of the bolts that hold the caliper on is really rounded out, and I'm still trying to get it off. From the outside, the brake pads look really thin
