Not true, you got to remove the brake calipers to get the rotors off and if they are properly torqued to the spindle mountings its a noisy job ......... grunt, grunt. In addition ......... OEM Vanagon alloy wheels ain't nuthin to rave about. They seldom fit anything else except the few exceptions you find listed when somebody sells a set.
