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.
