If the rotor have two little holes beside the lug holes on the rotors, you can screw in two bolt to slowing push the rotor off the hub. (Not sure what size bolts) But I would just spray some WD-40 between the studs and lug holes, then take a mallet and hammer the side and the rotor hat. Tapping the rotor with a metal hammer around the hat helps break up the rust . You just have to keep beating it until it comes off. It's a pain.

Also, screw on one lug nut partly on the stud to prevent the rotor from fly off when it break free.

Great, yeah i was thinking on using two bolts but dont know the size tho..i hate it when they get rusted like that and freeze up. What kind of rotor lube can i use so it wont stick on there anymore?thanks

I think the bolts are 8mm x 1.25. After the rotors are off, I would just dap a bit of anti-seize between the rotor and hub surface, Don't get any on the studs as it can cause you to overtighten the lugs nuts.

OK, so i got the drivers side off with using two bolts, it was a paint but its off. I installed new semi metallic pads and oem rotors feels better.
