OMG -__ spend the entire morning running around to auto zone to get tools for changing out my rotors.... but so far im stck at the point where they got a giantic bolt that locks the rotor in place.... it just wont come off....
I sprayed some WD 40 on it already... still wont budge....

And also does anyone know a way that locks the brake so i wont need a 2nd person stepping on the brake while i try to remove that center bolt?

Also anyone got any tips on removing that huge bolt...?

if im getting u right that is not a rotor bolt (dont think there is one), thats the axle bolt that secures the alxe. dont mess with it. take a rubber mallet or hammer and give the rotor a good wack or two, that will knock it lose. then put ur new rotor on but clean it first.

Yea you don't need to remove the hub nut to take the rotor off. All you need to remove is the caliper carrier and the rotor should just slide off the lugs.
