What is required to remove brake rotors from this vehicle?
There are no threaded holes for a removal bolt like iI have seen in the past.
I have heated the rotor slightly and then sprayed cold shot on the center but no luck.
Im doing both the front and rear.

If I remember right your model requires having the wheel axle nut to be removed and the rotor and wheel bearings slid off. I belive your rotor has the studs that go into it.

Hi, It seems that you are incorrect as far as having to remove the hub & bearings.
I have the replacement parts and they both (f+R) slip over the studs and centering guide.
They seem to be frozen onto the hub.
I need to know what technique to use to get them off.

You will have to remove the caliper and anchor plate assembly then try to remove it, if it seems frozen on you will have to heat it up wiht a torch or soemthing then hit the rotor on the edges of the rotor, where the pads dont touch, and then on the rotor itself, eventually it should break loose.

You just have to keep working on it.
