Default Rotor Help

Newb here, I have a 95 civic with 200k on it and I am giving it a tuneup and I got the Rotor retaining screw off w/o stripping it and now I cant get the rotor off. It is fouled and shortened and needs to go but I cant get it off any ideas?

Thanks

you probably have to hammer it out with a rubber mallet from the inside of the wheel well. unless you have not yet removed the caliper which would keep it from coming out as well. it is probably rusted on there pretty well.

dito... if you already removed the caliper and the rotor screws then bust out the hammer and start beating around the rotor to get it to pop off. my old 94civic didnt even have those retainer screws probably from previous owner not puting them back on but it didnt effect anything so i left it as is.

well if you have the screw out of the cap rotor then it should come out. just get some pliers and pull on it...

It was stuck good and I figured if I broke then the car was down and out, so I put it back together and will get some help with it.

Thanks
