Post Rotor Replacement problem

Ok im replacing my rotors and rebuilding my calipers and painting them red. anyway i got the caliper off and im trying to get my rotor off and i know this is probably something easy but the 2 screws that are holding the rotor on, when i turn them the rotor turns with it lol, how do i stop the rotor from turning so i can unscrew theses screws.

Put a pry bar in between the studs and chalk it to the ground. Also, a cheap little tool called an impact driver (notice not an impact wrench) might help w/ stubborn rotor screws.

If you don't have an impact driver, you should "wake-up" the screws... lightly whack the screwdriver with a hammer.

I don't even try and remove rotor screws anymore. Just drill them out...it's quicker and easier.
