I cannot seem to get the front rotors off the car. Any tricks involved? I have removed the calipers no problem but cant seem to get the rotors to budge.

Hello,

Be sure to remove those two screws at the center of the rotor. After the caliper is out of the way there is nothing else that holds the rotor in place.
It is likely just seized on the hub.
Simply use a mallet or hammer to tap on the rotor to release it from the hub.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
