Default Stuck front brake rotor - tips?

I'm finally getting around to doing the front brakes. Smooth sailing until it came time for the rotor to pull off. I've given it a BFH, a torch, it's moved maybe 0.1mm forward. Any tips?

ps- yes, I removed the two retainer screws

I cannot remember what my 964 looks like, but on some other cars there are two threaded holes in the rotor opposite the retainer screws, same size/thread as the retainer screws, that you can use for jacking bolts to push the rotor off the hub.

Good luck. Be Safe.

Darrell is right. Iirc they are m10 bolts. Thread them in, work at it evenly, they should come out. If not, a little heat around the hub area of the disc can make them come off a little better. Then just remember to clean up the hub, and apply a little anti-sieze to the hub face before you put the rotor on makes it easier next time.

Perfect! Thanks folks. Came off easily after threading in a couple bolts...
