My daughter has a 98 Elantra and the rotors are part intergated with the hub assembly. Unless you have a pretty elaborate shop set up in your garage, you will need to take the hub assemblies (both sides) to an automotive machine shop. The reson for this is that the 2-part bubs need to be pressed apart to get the rotors out. This will no doubt damage the bearings so they will need to be replaced. I did this a couple of years ago on my daughters car and the cost was about $80 per side, $37 for labor to press the bearings out (and the new ones in) and about $43 for the new bearings. If you are not comfortable dissassembling the front suspension of your car, I suggest taking the entire car to a reair shop. Of course the labor and parts will probably be double or triple of what they cost to do it yourself, but risk safety just to save a dollar. Life is too valuable (and too short)

How do you change rotors on a 1997 Hyundai Elantra?

Take it to the dealer... :) Seriously. I had a 1998 elantra, and I believe up until 1999 they used what are called "captive" rotors. Basically meaning you have to disassemble the hub in order to remove the rotor. It's a royal PITA and I would highly recommend it not be attempted without thorough instructions.
