Default Front brake rotors???

Does anyone know how exactly what tools are needed to remove old brake rotors and replace with new ones...I.E.are they pressed on and/or do they have to be pressed back on???

When I got my rotors and new pads... I tired doing it myself and got everything off except the rotor. That was a major pain and our air compressor wasn't powerful enough to get some bolts off... So I took it into a shop and they did it; They are pressed on.

I feel ya on that one.. I'm all about DIY and saving some money... so I wasn't too happy that I had to take it somewhere.. but it's done and the brakes are awesome.. and I'm happy to have good braking now, heh...so it's all good other than the 200 dollars I had to pay just for labor, heh.
