Leave the nut alone.

My dad swore thats how they came off, (i wasn't home to tell him). Well it's not. Now I have to repace the nuts.

Those 2 screws are what holds it on. They basicly are there to hold the rotor on, with the caliper off.

Be ready, sometimes they are a pain in the *** to remove.

Exactly, they are "floating" rotors. The 'missing' screw hole are to help ease the rotor off after you get the two screws out

Drill the screw head off with a drill bit for metal. If they haven't been change in a long time and an impact screwdriver won't get it off, that's basically your only option.

Impact screw driver. Or the ghetto way. A screw driver, adjustable wrench and hammer.

OR drill them out. You really don't need them. The caliper will hold the rotor when installed.
