Use M10 bolts (front) or M8 (rear) to screw in the rotor and push them back from the hub.

I just did all my brakes 2 weeks ago. I had a hard time getting off the rotors as well because they were on there for almost 50,000 miles. I got them off by first spraying liquid wrench (WD-40 should work) into the 2 threaded holes on the rotor as well as around all the wheel studs and the center of the hub that sticks out through the rotor. I then let it sit a over night (a few hours may be all that is needed) and then just hit them from behind with a hammer. They all came off with just one hit. When I looked at the hub, the liquid wrench had penetrated behind the rotor and loosened it for me. Hope this helps

ah, finaly got them off...didn't have time to wait over night, so i sprayed and waited 20 mins and hit the rotor as hard as i could many many times... on one of the hit's i saw sparks! i was affird that the wd-40 would catch fire! . but after hit it like literaly 50 times, it finaly broke loose. yay! thanks guys.

hate to see your warped hammer beaten rotors.......
if you cant get the threaded bolt trick to work, you just buy some eye bolts and thread those in there....then attach a chain and yank for all its worth. Works for the chevy/nissan dealership......it will work for you......

Chris, just head out to a hardware shop and pick up nuts of the corresponding thread pitch and diameter of M10 and M8. Or, just head to your Nissan dealership. They'll have the bolts, but you'll pay about 3 times as much for the same bolt. Just a hint, you have an M10 in your engine bay. It's on the top of the passenger side upper engine mount.
Also, to prevent this in the future, clean, then anti-seize the hub.
