i read that sometimes that does work and I dont' want to be half way through replacing my rotors and end up having to get the bolts anyway. I'd rather just have em ready, but thanks.

get a rubber hammer, I tried using the bolts on front rotors I stripped 3 of them somehow. Just hit couple times and turn the rotor and hit it some more

If you're not gonna reuse the rotors, hit the rotors directly with a hammer. It will come off.

aight, thanks everyone. since i definately will not be reusing the rotors, i guess there is no reason not to just bash them off with a mallet or hammer. thanks again

M8 bolts for rear rotors, M10 bolts for front rotors. Dont use imperial size bolts, even if they "look" same thread and size, else you will ruin the treads of the rotors.

or was it M6 rear and M8 front ? Nah.. pretty sure M8 rear and M10 front.

Don't bash the rotor too hard or the wheel bearing life may be shorten.

I tried banging the rotors thinking it would free it.....the rotor didn't budge. I used the screw to press it out and it came of real easy
