98 Explorer Front Rotors Change?

I just changed the front pads on my 98 Explorer AWD with Duralast Gold. I now realized I should have changed the rotors while I was in there. My right side pads were down to metal. To get to the front pads on a 98, all I had to do was take out the lower caliper bolt and flip up the caliper. What else do I need to do to get the rotor off? Any other bolts that need to come out? Does the caliper have to be removed?
Thanks in advance.
Scott

You have to remove the caliper bracket on the back side.Be prepared to use a breaker bar and pipe those bolts are loctited in.Once the bracket is off the rotor should slide right off.

The Haynes Manual is not very helpful on this issue. Could you point out where the bolts are that hold on the caliper bracket or link to a picture?
Thanks,
Scott
