I have a 1998 Kia sephia and i would think they are the same. There are two rubber boots that have caps on the end that pull off. These give you access to the Allen head bolts that hold the caliper on. Once the caliper is removed you have to remove two more bolts that hold the bracket on.Then the hard part is getting the retaining screws(#3 Phillips head) loose to remove the rotor. I found if you heat them with a propane torch for about a minute or two and then use an impact driver they come right off. If the rotor is stuck to the hub use 8mm bolts in empty holes to push it off.
push the pistons back just a hair if necc, in most cases the calipers are good so they are not sticking, wich means that step does not need to happen,. remove the the whole caliper and caliper mounting wich means just the mounting bracket bolts and tie it out of the way with a bungee,
heat the rotor retaining screws up for 2 minutes they shopuld come right out, in severe cases you may have to drill them out, and if the rotor is stuck on the hub, give it a whack with a sledge hammer it will gladly come off, the 8mm bolt idea does not really work as the threads are so rusty they just strip before grabbing any
