I am changing rotors in my civic. I took out brake assembly but I can't take out rotors. After i take out two screws in rotors do I need to take out big bolt in the center to take out rotors?
Please help me out.
thanks guys

No you don't need to take the axle nut off
u need to thread some bolts into the other 2 holes on your rotors, the ones the screws didn't come out of this will push the rotor off or some light tapping with a hammershould break them lose, they are probably rusted to the hub

make sure you have an impact screwdriver to remove the two screws holding on the rotor, they usually have loc-tite on them from the factory. if you stip them you will have to drill and that my friend sucks.

I hammered but let me try to thread some bolts into the other 2 holes on rotors.

sometimes you have to hammer hard, like it stole something from ya. when they rust they don't want to part, water + heat = stuck

Beat that thing like it stole your money. You're not going to hurt it.

bullshit. youll might damage the wheel bearing.

use a bolt that fits the 2 holes and screw them until it break loose.

you dont need to hit the rotors hard, and use a rubber faced dead blow to hit the outer rotor or brass faced and hit the inside between the studs, if they dont come loose with minimal hitting, thread the bolts in until they hit the hub and force the rotor out.

I just threaded a bolt into it when it got stuck on me.

Beating the rotors can hurt them.

Thanks guys for your help.
Like this guy said, I used 2 screw and it took less then minute to take it out. I was hammering really hard before and that was stupid idea.

I was able to change only one because I got dark outside and cold.
Is it ok if I change other one next weekend? I am going to put around 400 miles.
