have you hit it with a hammer or mallet?

in all seriousness if your going to replace your rotors then just wack the shit out of it a few times and it should come off. if not, use lots of wd40 or liquid wrench...and then keep hitting it.

yep, just take an old rubber mallet/hammer and smack the shit out of it a few times, it should comes lose after that. If your going to use a hammer, you might want to put some towel between the hammer and rotor as a bit of a barrier...unless your just replacing the rotors completely, than to hell with them.

Dont hit the rotor with a hammer. On the bottom of the rotor shaft there is a small seal if you hit the shaft enough you will break that seal and it will cause oil to leak into your ditrib.

Yeah. And they're a #3 Phillipshead screwdriver to get them out. You're going to need a little bit of force to get them out if you never have taken them out before.
