I'm changing out my front rotors and am having trouble getting the rotor off.
The retaining screws are off.
The caliper is off.
I've put some liquid wrench on it.
Two questions:
Thanks,
Dave

Two questions:
- Anyone know what the threads are for the alternate holes that look like they are used to drive the rotor off?
- Anyone have any tips on how to pop that rotor off?
Thanks,
Dave

I tried a rubber mallet.
In the end I purchased a pair of M8 bolts with standard threads and wrenched them off. Worked like a charm. Given the forces required it would have been a long hard slog without the bolts!
New rotors, pads (and spiders this time). Hopefully, these OE rotors (marked made in Germany) will last longer and rust less than the after market drilled ones I've removed.

I was going to do that, but these OE rotors arrived with the hats already painted.
Should I paint over what's there? It is a very light grey color. I figured it was rust protection; no?
