there is a threaded whole in your rotor by the lug bolts where u can get a bolt in. u got to thread it in and tighten it. it will push the rotor off the hub with no damage done.

yes, those.
It takes a 8m x 1.5 bolt I think.
If not it is a 8m x 1.25
thread them in and the rotors will come right off.
Make sure you have the parking brake OFF.

The parking break is keeping the rotors on. Just thread in the bolt and you will see. There are 6 holes in the rear rotors 5 for the wheel studs and one threaded hole for the extractor bolt. Any metric bolt 8m x 1 - 1 1/2"long with the correct thread pitch will work. It will bottom out and then back the rotor off.

Yeh, they put my locking lugs on with an impact. Took 3 hours to get one off. They had to destroy it peice by peice. But they didn't even scratch my rim. I told they they would have to buy one cuz they put it on...
Good luck!
Good luck!

Put the car in gear? Put on the brakes?
Or there is the dumb way... stick a screwdriver in the rotor so it hits to caliper and stops the whole thing from turning.
I would get omeone to hold the brake on and trq it down.
