Front Brake rotors

Is there one screw in-between two of the lug nut stud holes?

Maybe there is some rust camouflaging the screw?

Stupid question

But I must ask it.

You did remove the calipers?

The Medic

Hit the rotor real hard with a big hammer, I have had to really put some power into hitting these things to get them off, considering you have some mileage on this car, rust will really hold them on. Just do not hit anything else or yourself. And yes double check for that screw. The Honda's always seem to have those screws. There also may be holes between the lug studs where you can put a bolt in and it will pop the rotor off. Spray the rotor with some PB blaster or liquid wrench first to eat some of the rust away. Hope this helps.

Oh trust me, I have had to really smash them to get them off, but if you have not done it before or seen it done, then I guess go with your new pads. You wont break anything as long as you only hit the rotor.

I usually do not mess with these kind of vehicles.

I have seen these holes in the rotor before, thought they were for screws

I found this information for you in "Prodemand"

I do not know how to "line up" these marks, but I feel sure this will ease your pain when we do figger it out.

I will message another guy on here should AL514 not know.

See the Prodemand info below.

Picture got lost.

Trying again.

The Medic

Nothing to line up, just put the screws in the rotor and tighten them in evenly. Side to side, but spraying them with something to break the rust up will help greatly. Let it soak then try the screw holes or smash it with a huge hammer hard, like you hate the rotor. It will come off.

Not Good!

Picture shows the hole in the rotor at 12 o'clock (may not matter/ may be at another position) and the text says

"put match marks on disc and the axle hub, remove disc"

I will try picture again.

It does load and will upsize when clicked on-before I submit it!

The Medic

Also if the screws do not pop the rotor off, do not force them. They will only strip out and then you will have to smash it off. I would put a link on here, but I do not think we are suppose to.

This is weird!

My pictures/ diagrams posted on a post I answered while ago!

Here is the link.

You will see the diagrams at the bottom.

The Medic

I have done many of these. Never have I seen any marks to line up. There will be two screw holes. One across from the other in between the lug studs. If you put a 12 mm bolt in here and tighten evenly it will come off. Or yes spray it down and smash it.

The point of the two holes is to put pressure on the hub behind the rotor, and this forces the rotor off.

Good to hear, please use 2CarPros anytime we are here to help.
