Default removing rotors on 98 dx?

Pulled the two screws, threw on some pb blaster, tapped with a hammer.....and they didn't move. Is there a trick with these? Looks like there are two extra holes that could be for a puller?

Did youremove the pads and caliper before trying to take off the rotor? I'd also use a rubberized mallet, or hit the hammer on a piece of wood placed over the rotor, so the blows don't damage anything.

Not only did I remove the wheels, but I also removed the calipers.

8mm bolts (I think)
they will thread into the holes and push the rotor off the hub [8D]

or you can just hit it harder

Thanks for the bolt tip. I've hit them pretty damn hard already. Gotta love how things rust together up here in the Alaska.
