spray some lube on the center bore and hit it from the back and rotate till it comes off.

Next time, especially if you don't have any lube, just use a bigger hammer. Deadblow hammers work best for this kind of thing, because they don't bounce back and hit anything else.

Failing that, just drill the heads off the screws. I tracked the car for six years without them. But if you are stickler, the replacement screws are probably a lot cheaper than the brain damage or tools to save the rusty ones.

When I first read it, I thought that was the problem. But he already had removed the screws. He was just afraid of bashing on the rotor hard enough to break it loose.

yea those 2 screws came out easy with an impact driver, i just needed to hit the rotors harder to pop loose.
