there’s two extra holes where your wheel studs are, put a bolt into those holes and torque it down…

the rotors are rusted on? Its a floating rotor it just slides over the wheel studs. OHH is it rusted to the hub?
Make sure you clean the hub surface off really really well when isntalling the new rotor. Brake cleaner is your friend.

yeah now I remember, yeah try that bolt trick thro the two open holes on the rotor. If that doesn’t work just take the hub off and break out the vice grip and chizzle hehehe
