Front brake rotors

There is more than likely a thread about this, but I can't find one.

Replacing the front brake rotors; is it take off, put on? I haven't really had a chance to look at the rotors so I'm trying to figure out if they have the bearings or whatever on them. If so, does it require pressing them out?

'85 GS, stock front end

I've really got to give it to Bonez; they make one hell of a set of brake pads. I ran the car up to about 60 and it stopped in like 2 or 3 seconds (guessing of course).

Now, there is a problem. On the passenger front outside bearing, there was this little round spring that ran the circumference of the rear side plate that fell out. It went inbetween in the rear plate and the side housing that holds the bearings in. Is that necessary to be there? None of the other bearings had that.
