I bought the car a little over 3 years ago and I have never replaced the front rotors and I tried to change them but the rotor is rusted on. How do I get the rotors off without damaging the car? Only serious suggestions please...
 
Spray penetrating oil (like WD-40) around the inside. Wait for awhile and then tap from behind with a mallet, or kick both sides from the front. You won't damage the spindle and if you scar or damage the rotors who cares, right?

If all else fails, use a wheel puller. You can rent one at a tool rental place for like $5.00.

Good luck!
 
bang on it with a rubber mallet after you have removed the wheel. it will start to come off at an ange then start banging on the other side.
