Question Rotor replacement

Ok, now I'm actually in the process of changing my rotors. I can not seem to remove the two bolts in the back of the caliper bracket.

Do you guys have any ideas how I can easily remove these?? Help fast car up on jack currently only iPad now haha.

heat it up or use wd40 and let it soak a little.

I had to sit in the wheel well to get as much pressure on it as possible, it should give, be careful not to snap the stud

Thanks man I finally used strength and got it. Now my rotor isn't coming off. Is there another bolt or something? Shouldn't it slide right off?

I see a small screw like thing inside one of the rotor holes could this be holding it? It looks like a torque screw. But it's stripped a little.

sorry, the rotor should come right off once you have the caliper bracket off, try hitting the side of it with a rubber mallet or something to break a rust bond or something that may have been created

Yea just got it off and still no movement.... I'm getting fed up. I swear it's this little rotor screw in there. And that's why I can't move it
