Woah there big boy!

Ok, i need to replace the rotors on my '06 impreza. Its only the 2.5i (not the WRX or the pig). I can't seem to get the discs off of the front or the back. Can anyone give me some tips or suggestions? I've taken the caliper, pads, and caliper bracket off but i can't seem to figure out how to get the discs off. I don't see any screws, nuts, or bolts holding them on.

Should be a threaded hole on the face of the rotor hats that you can thread a bolt into in order to press them off of the hubs. Can't remember the thread diameter or pitch, but I want to say it's an M8 - perhaps another user can chime in here.

Nope, just an N/A. I tried the holes but the rotors were so bad and rusted that i couldn't get anything to thread into them so i took the rubber mallet approach and it worked like a charm. I had to use a deep socket and a regular hammer to tap around the studs to break up some of the crud first but after that i just used a rubber mallet to bang on them a little bit and they came right off. Thanks guys!!!
