I need to do a front brake job and need to know if the vehicle has captive rotors?

No, your car does not have captive rotors. If you want to replace the rotors, you will need to remove the calipers and the rotor should just slide right off. If it does not, tap it with a rubber mallet a few times to break it loose from the rust and dust.

Here is our how-to guide: https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-replace-front-brake-pads-and-rotors-fwd

Your car should be very similar to the one in our guide.
