The rear rotors are hubbed and the fronts arehubbless. Is it possible that the fronts are rusted on? There are 2 clips on two of the studs. Just want to know before I try to beat them off.

the clips are tinnerman nuts. they are used at the factory to hold the rotors on on the assembly line. take um off and beat on them. yes they do get rusted on. right on the inner part and the back part of the flange near the lugs on the rotor. just hit on it and they shoudl pop off. you might have to remeove the caliper bracket mount to get it off all the way
