i cant get my front rotors off. ive tried taking them off by pulling, then i tried using the bolt in the little holes but the thread stripped out, then i tried a rubber mallet and that didnt work. how the hell am i gonna get them off without major dammage. the rotors are a year old and a little warped so i want to just get them turned. thanks

If the threads are stripped out in both those bolt holes (there ARE two), your only option is to go get a bigger mallet. if you hit it hard enough from the back, you should be able to knock that sucker loose..

the thing is im affraid they're gonna break or crack if i hit them harder. i cant afford to buy new ones cause im getting a paint job next week and im pretty much going to be broke for the next few weeks. being poor really sucks dosent it?

Yep thats what i had to do. I took a big mallet and wacked the crap out of them. Hit all around it, then wiggle it a little, and repeat. I don't think a rubber mallet will break them. If they are warped badly, and you want stock rotors, i'll sell you mine cheap. They had about 38,000 miles on them when i took them off, theyv'e never been turned, and they're still in good shape.
