Default 1997 front rotor help please!

Can't get the front rotors of on my 97 LS. Could it be they are rusted on or are the screws in the rotors holding them on? They won't budge at all

yes you'll need to remove the two retaining screws first before you can try prying them off.

also they could still be rusted on. there is a threaded hole on the rotor where you can thread in a bolt to help push the rotor out. using PB blaster helps break the rust too. good luck!

Like timmy said remove the screws, I'm surprised that anyone still has them. Give the rotor a couple of taps with a hammer.
