Default 89 cherokee fr rotor ?

I think I have a warped rotor,spin tire and gets hard and then easy to turn and can feel pulsing when braking.Is it that easy to change fr rotors.I found some jeep but no cherokee u-tube vids.Just remove caliper and the rotor slides off ?. I hope this looks like a easy fix but so far I,ve always ran into some problems on this thing that looks like a easy fix.

The rotor might need some persuasion to get it off but yeah, that's all there is to it. Buy some brake cleaner and waste it on the new rotor, they come covered in oil.

Invest in a torque wrench lol. I think it's more like unevenly tightened lug nuts.
