Hopefully a quick question. 2005 Grand Caravan SE with 65000 miles on the 3.3L V6. Are the front rotors held on by the calipers or pressed to the hub? Also, are the pads the type with or without hooks?

Thanks very much. I appreciate the fast response. Would you happen to know if the pads have hooks or not. When I went to get them, I was asked and wasn't sure.

Just quick follow up if anyone is interested...

Changing the rotors and pads are easy enough, but make sure before you start you have a 7mm hex allen wrench handy. You will need it to remove the caliper bolts.

Also, have a decent adjustable wrench handy to loosen the caliper bracket bolts so you can get the rotor off.
