I have heard, for S-13's the rear rotors there is a little pin holding the rotor onto the hub....? the fronts just come off with ease.. but i'm not sure bout the rears.. does anyone have any information to help me?.. any pictures will help... thank you

I just did my calipers, rotors, and pads last week. Its really straight forward. You just take off the hanger (that holds the calipers and pads and shit in place). You remove the clips that hold the pads along with the pads, then the rotors should just slide off. Pretty much the only thing holding the rotors is the wheels... I havent done my front pads or anything, but I bet they're all about the same.

i just did all 4 of mine on a 95..... there wasnt any pins.. just the 4 bolts.. 2 holding calper to the torque holder thingy.. and the 2 holding the caliper holder around the rotoar.. just undue those bolts and the rotor slides off.. BUT, depending on where you live.. my rotoar was kinda rusted onto the hub? or whatever it is that it goes on.. so i had to go around the outer edge with rubber mallet to break it away from the rust lip.. but other than that its simple

Yeah, it was simple.  I thought the rear rotor was held on by something, then I looked at it closer and it was just stuck.  Some wd40, diet coke and a good number of hammer wacks later, they came right off. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>
