Brake Rotor seized!
It seems that my rotors are seized on to the hub, is there any way for me to take them out? and yes i did take off the screws that holds them in place is there anything else that might be holding the rotors in place?
RUST!!!!!!!!!! I assume you are replacing the old ones, so you don't care what happens to them. First hit around the face of the hub section to knock loose some of the rust. Then hit the braking surface. Sometimes a torch will help. I only use a propane one and try not to get it too hot to avoid too much heat in the hub and bearing. The worst rust tends to be near the studs, on the flat section between the studs and where the center hole goes over the hub.
When they get off, clean the hub face as well as you can. i usually use a LITTLE anti-sieze where the rotor seats on the hub. Go light with it to make sure it does not get on the braking surface or pads.
Good luck.

There are threaded holes in the rotor hub 90° from the screws that hold the rotor on. Don't know the size but you can use some screws and jack the rotor off the hub.
