Replaced all 4 rotors today. Question about rubber piece in rotor

If the Rotor has been on the vehicle for a long period of time, rust forms between the hub and the rotor making it still difficult to remove. That's when you use an M8 bolt to easily break the rotor free from the hub - not a hammer.
Why is everyone just making this thread very long winded and repeating the same thing only twisting things around slightly in order to confuse people????
I'm getting annoyed because I have been reading HEAPS of misinformation on this forum in regards to brakes. It's a safety issue guys. If you ain't sure, seek pro assistance or leave it to the experts.

I bought some other brand- b/c I liked the look of the slots better (they looked more 'high-end'...or like Stop-Tech's or Brembo's REAL-DEAL BBK's...
They are HORRIBLE compared to the rotors you got. (my dad put them on his Jeep- and they're not even getting orange or discolored where the PADS rub! They're STILL shiny silver...and have been for months...Crazy)
I found out AFTER I ordered and received mine- that I could opted to have them Zinc-coated for an extra $35. REALLY wish I knew that..instead I painted them with high-heat Brake paint and let my new $190+ EBC Redstuff pads take the paint off, where the pads rubbed.
BEFORE - 11.65" front rotors, with Floating, 2-piston calipers.
AFTER - 12.4" front rotors, with Fixed, 4-piston calipers!

I could've just avoided having to 'TRY' to keep the bogus rotors that I bought from corroding, by buying these ones!
Oh well... I might seriusly replace all four next summer and throw these rotors in the garbage...lol
(but because of how they look...up close, particularly)
