I believe on the 2000/2001 the rotors just slide off (floating rotor)

On my 1998 they are attached to the hub

Yeah, I did my rotors two years ago. It took all day! I broke my 1/2" drive t handle and bent my breaker bar. I was jumping on a 4' cheater bar trying to loosen up the axle nut. My impact wrench would not touch it! Finally found a 10' length of steel conduit in the garage and used that on a 3/4" drive to get that thing loose. Have fun!
