How to remove front rotors?
 
I have track day tomorrow and cannot find a guide on how to remove front rotors on the FRS. Please help I need to find this ASAP thank you. Already removed the caliper, just don't know what the two little screws or whatever they are are on the rotor itself so I can pull it off. Thanks again and sorry if this is a repeat thread. Cannot find anything... I need to know first what they are, then what size they are so I do not strip them out.

Installed my AP Sprint kit a couple of weeks ago. This helped a lot. I got stuck at removing the rotors as well.

I believe I used the caliper bracket bolts to remove them. It felt like it was cross threading when I was screwing it on. But I kept checking it and it was fine.

Thank you! Looks like mine are either seized or I haven't pulled on it hard enough yet.

They're on there pretty good. Took a lot of force to take off. I used lots of liquid wrench as well. Any penetrating oil would work. Don't forget to clean the hub with brake cleaner after. Good luck!

The two screw holes allow you to "push" the rotor off the hub. It's stuck because of surface rust.

rubber mallet to the back of the rotor.
