quick help.. taking off front rotors
ok.. so 3 of my lug nuts were threaded on wrong by some careless tireplace and i need to replace them. so i torqued off and broke 3 of them and 2 came out ok. i got the replacement studs and lugs but i just cant take the front rotors off! i took off the calipers already and am clueless now.
i seen before on other cars, there are 2 little holes for a screw driver to go in and you'll take out those screw and the rotors should come off but on the max, i see 2 little holes but nothing to screw out? am i suppost to screw "in" something in there to help pull the rotors off?? help!! any tips/advice will help me out a lot.

Yes, find the correct size screw and thread it into the small holes. The rotor will pop off with easily. You could band on it with a hammer from behind, but I recomdend using the holes that Nissan provided.

so once the calipers are off, the rotors should come off easily? welp, easier said than done. mine are pretty rusted on. any advice on where to "tap" on the rotors and what size screw to screw in those holes?

Well....I might be wrong. I know for a fact my rear ones were hard to get off, but it has been so long since I had the fronts removed I can't remember.

I bought the bolts for front and rear rotors at Pep Boys. They have a nice inventory of metric bolts. Have them pull a new rotor out of inventory and find the size you need. That is what I did but it was so long ago I don't remember the sizes!
