Rotor removal questions

I did a search on all the threads that have to do with removing the rotors and have some questions. Im doing a rotor/pad swap on front and rear. Starting with the front im having issues with the front rotors not coming off. I pounded the both fronts with hammers and cant get them to move at all. As far as the screw trick from the radiator support do i screw it all the way into the rotor? And may i ask how is that suppose to move the rotor does it start to move when its all the way in or when your screwing it back out. Or does anyone else have a better way to do this lol.

use a bolt that fits throuh one of the holes on the rotor. comes right off....kinda acts like a puller screw. very easy. i think one of the bolts for the front bumper support works.

Yea dont use a hammer. There are 2 treaded screw holes machined into the rotor. Just use a screw that fits in the treaded hole. Keep tightening it untill the rotor pops off. Thats it. Then get a

both and tighten equally so the rotor comes off straight.. Get them both hand tight and do like 3 revolutions with your ratchet per bolt, they will pop right off..
