I have a 2006 tC with 45000 miles. The rotors have never been taken off. I tried to take them off today but they won't budge. I thought that you just remove the caliper and the rotor will come off. Am I wrong about that. I tried banging them with a hammer, spraying them with wd 40, prying them, nothing worked. And yes the emergency brake is off. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

There is a hole on the center of the rotor, you have to have some sort of wrench to loosen the bolt in them holes and when you loosen up the bolt, it will push the rotors off. Not sure what type of wrench it is because the guys at the shop did it for me. I tried the same thing and then they showed me that they are kinda locked on with that bolt.

look at the center of the rotor. you'll see two holes. a bolt fits in each one of those. you alternatively tighten the bolts into those holes and it will break the rotor free of the hub. I think it was a 10mm thread bolt. try the dealer's parts dept, they should know what size it is. That's how you get it off rust is really strong and beating it with a sledgehammer like some shops do is just asking for damage to the hub/bearing.
