1st remove calipers and mounts, then pull center dust cover. Then you have access to spindle nut, pull cotter key and back nut off. Be sure and repack wheel bearings and install new seal before you put them back on.

Does that apply to the rear rotors as well? My mechanic is telling me he has to drill rivets to get the off..

It's possible, hard to believe on that old of a car the rear rotors have never been off, though. Can't remember the setup on a 71 off the top off my head.

i know its hard to believe, but they are the original rotors all the way around, the car only has 58,000 miles on it so i guess that makes it more feasable, the car has actually been a catch 22, its awesome to have found an unmolested corvette, but then you are like...oh crap this car has had nothing replaced in 30 some years, it even had the original spark plug wires.
