So why was that rotor so difficult to break loose? This is why:
Note that this Toyota hub has an interrupted perimeter, probably in an attempt at making the rotor less difficult to get off once it rusts. Many other cars have full-round hubs that grab even more tenaciously.
I like this idea; will have to try to remember it.
But why are those rotors getting replaced? They look pristine to me.

For some reason now I want to loosen up my rotors this spring, put on some antisieze, and reinstall. Oh, why can't the oem's just charge us five bucks more and put antisieze on in the first place? of all the stupid things to charge for, this would be one of the few things I would pay good money for.
They may be warped/unevenly worn spots that you can't see just by looking at them, but can feel at 65 mph when he hits the pedal.
