I have taken the brake caliber off and removed two screws from the outside of the rotors. Still can't seem to get the rotors to slide off. Do I need to do anything different to get the rotor to slide off so I can replace? Need your help Please.

They rust on and are hard to get off. Remove the brake rotor by threading in two 8 x 1.25mm bolts, two turns at a time until the brake rotor is released. It will come off.
