Default Any tips for getting rusted on rotors?

I need to have the rotors on my mom's corolla machined, but the damn things won't come out. Any tips besides getting a bigger BFH? I would like to leave that as a last resort.

I've noticed that Toyota cars have two little holes in the rotors, that only go as deep as the hub. It looks like a screw could go in there, and push the rotor out. Anyone now if this is what they're for?

P.S. Some factory applied anti seize would go a long way Toyota.

try putting couple of long bolts in those holes and screw 'em in, the theory sounds bout right...

it should work...

or just a rubber mallet and soak it in PB-Blaster or WD-40

Bolts work fine, you could also go with a rotor puller (it has another name, ending in 'puller' but I cannot remember it)

I have used both with success. I do not recall the bolt size I used.
