think about it this way, is there any way in hell that rotor is gonna fall off when there are studs going thru it and lug nuts torqued on them with wheels over top? no, and if they come off, ill come to your house and kiss your ass. a helpful tip to keep the rotor from being wobbly when putting the caliper back on is to put to of the lug nuts on just to hold the rotor down

ok i drilled out those screws and the rotor is stiiillllll stuck on there. i would have tried banging on it with a hammer but i dont know what that will do to it. is there a trick to getting rusted on rotors off or is there any nuts/bolts im missing. i took off the tire, the brakes, then drilled out those two screws. is that it? i know my three lugs will hold for a while but i dont want to push my luck.......thanks
