Front rotors
ok..I searched but no luck. I am replacing my fornt rotors and pads tomorrow and I think the bearings are in the front rotors. Are they pressed in? Any tips on doing this? I am also putting in a new master cylinder....so the lines come off easy or will they strip like the rear lines? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!

It's been a long time since I worked on 1st gen, but I believe the front wheeel brgs are like most cars, not 2nd gen. The outer race is driven into the hub assembly. You can remove/install with a long punch. Be careful not to scratch the surface.
To remove lines, use a fuel line wrench, and a slight amount of heat if necessary. Should not strip if careful.

I hope this is a good spot to jump in. I am replacing the entire front brake assembly on my 84 GSL. There is a 14 mm bolt ( i believe it is 14mm anyway) on the back side of the hub. It is in a very difficult spot to reach. Is there a special tool required to get this bolt off?

14mm? That would be the lower caliper bracket bolt. The easiest way to get to it is to loosen the knuckle arm bolts.
