Does anyone know the size bolt I need for removing a stuck rotor on my 02 WRX? I don't know if it is stuck, but if my car is on jacks I won't be able to just "run to the store" so I want to buy a couple before I do brakes this weekend. Any advice for me? I haven't done my own brakes in a couple of years.
I just used a steel toe boot, gave it a few light (ha) taps to the upper area of the rotor, and it freed itself. This is was an old legacy with some rusted-*** rotors, too
You need a 12mm bolt (as in 12mm wrench fits it). Make sure you use a really high grade bolt and not the one that holds your back seats down, because that **** will break off, and then when you sell your rotors to another person who's too dumb to look at the rotors he's installing will blame you for it.

I think I am going with the brute force removal of the rotors, they are toast...

Let me expand on Ban's post a tad:
Go to Lowes.
Go to the Hardware section; it's near the door **** aisle.
Look for the pull out trays of loose fasteners.
Locate the metric tray section.
Place hand on tray that has 8mm bolts.
Pull tray open.
Grab a bag that contains an 8mm bolt that has at least 25mm of threaded section.
Walk to counter (I prefer #1 or #2) & pay for bolt(s).
Say "Thank you."
