1998 Accord Auto LX
I was changing the front brake pads for my daughters car. One of the lugnuts was stuck so I had to break the lug (no big deal, I have changed these before on GMC and Buicks). I saw that there were 2 screws that was holding the rotor in place. but when I removed these screws, the rotor would not budge. I stopped and went to the driver side and changed the brake pads and could loosen up the screws and wiggle the rotors.
Once I was done with the driver side, I went back to the passenger side to try removing the rotor. I tried a prybar and hammered on the rotor just to try breaking it loose. Would not budge at all! So I gave up and took it to a shop and they changed it for $60 (GRRRR).
Now, I wonder what else I could try? I never had a problem removing a rotor from various cars! Did I overlook something?

I saw those, but assumed those were extra holes in case the rotors were put on at a certain angle (to prevent you having to rotate the rotor to get the holes to line up).
Well thank you, now I know what to do next time!
