How do i change the rotor!?

i cant seem to get the rotor off of my 1990 toyota pick up. I have taken the large lug nuts off and the smaller 12mm nuts off and the even smaller 10mm nuts off. i just cant get the rotor to come off....:(How do i change the rotor!?
It's seized up on the wheel hub. Spray it liberally with PB or WD, Beat it with a rubber hammer or a steel hammer gently.



It's you or it.



I don't comprehend the 12mm and 10mm nuts? Holding on a brake rotor.How do i change the rotor!?
take brake caliper off the pull off roter.How do i change the rotor!?
Have you removed the brake caliper? Sometimes you have to take a torch and heat the mating area of the rotor and the stud holes before it breaks loose. Try it, you may be successful.How do i change the rotor!?
all you should have to do is take off the tire, remove the caliper, and the rotor comes right off. They do tend to stick pretty bad so you might have to use some force. i wouldn't beat on them though unless you plan to replace them.How do i change the rotor!?
Well first take the caliper off. Then soak the rotor in WD40 and then try hitting it with a mallet in a circular pattern. Check to see if there is threaded holes in the rotor if there is get bolts that fit and tighten them in there the will press up against the hub and pull the rotor away at the same time, this almost always works. If all else fails a torch and a bigger hammer.
