threaded holes in the rotors?
I can't for the life of me find the right bolt for the rotor. It is extremely stuck to the hub and I need the thread count for the holes provided to break a stuck rotor free from the hub. I have tried all the bolts I have on hand(mostly standard) and no luck. Anyone know what I am looking for?

Re: threaded holes in the rotors?
I just put the kids to bed and was trying to get it off to finish diagnosing the steering/suspension issues in my wife's 97 civic. I have never had a problem getting the rotor off before. This time it is stuck bad. I have hit it several times with a rubber mallet(again with the noise and kids). I guess I will give it a few more shots. If I can't get it tonight I will get the 4lb hand sledge out tomorrow after work.
Thanks for the help.

You're wasting your time with the rubber mallet, just go at it tommorrow when you can make some noise with a good siezed ball pein hammer or a club hammer.

Re: threaded holes in the rotors?
I just tried a hard plastic hammer with a 20oz estwing and no success. I pretty much figured I wasn't going to accomplish anything but at least I tried. I appreciate the help. I am getting alot farther into my working on vehicles. Meaning I have never worked on the suspension and steering systems before(on a Honda[fwd]). I just rebuilt the front axle on my Bronco and now it is the civics turn. I am just going to go thru and find worn parts that need to be replaced. I will probably be asking more questions as I get into this. I will search everything before I ask as I know that can be the easiest answer for most questions.
Again I apreciate the help.

we replaced the brakes and rotors on my buddys car the other week, we had to smack it from behind with a sledge hammer, they were rusted on pretty damn bad!!

Re: threaded holes in the rotors?
He's already got those screws out, theres a second set of threaded holes in the rotor itself, you thread bolts in them and the push against the hub behind forcing a stuck/rusted rotor off the hub. However most guys just hammer on the rotor.
