Akebono caliper/lines installation help
#16
Welcome.
For the front rotors, there's an extra hole on the hub (if you have a sport, a bolt is there to prevent you from mounting the rear wheels up front). All Nissan OEM rotors have this hole, however. I just screwed a longer bolt through and it pops the rotors off.
For the shields, the fronts are out of the way, no need to do anything with it. For the rears, people trim the entire thing off, but really it's just the lip and a small part by the caliper that's blocking the way. It's personal preference on that one.
If the rear rotors refuse to come out, you can try this how-to. I actually bought all the parts but never had to use 'em:
