Removing front rotors.....HELP!!!

[scoop05]

Anyone know the best way to remove the front rotors for an Integra-LS?
I've removed those small screws with an impact hammer and everything else has been disassembled, but I cant get the rotor to pop off..

Any ideas?

Did you forget the really BIG bolt in the middle?

That big bolt in the middle has to come out? Is it that simple, or are there bearings that need to be taken off too?

I've been scouring the internet to find out and haven't been able to find any clear indication of whether or not that middle bolt needs to be taken off. That would make sense, but I just wanted to be sure I knew what I was getting in to if I take that bolt out.

Thanks

The axle nut does not need to be removed. The rotor is simply rusted to the hub. If you are not re-using the rotor(s), whacking it with a large hammer from behind usually does the trick. If you must re-use them, you should see two threaded holes in the rotor, opposite the holes for the phillips screws that hold the rotor on. Get some metric bolts that fit the threads and start cranking them in. They should bottom against the hub and you should be able to walk the rotor off. Spray some penetrating oil around the hub area. Also, once the f***ing rotor is off, smooth out the mating surface of the hubs with some sandpaper and wire brush so the new rotor runs true and wont develop a pulsation.
