I have no idea, I haven't touched a 4 lug car before. hit the rotors with a hammer (?) I had to pull mine off pretty hard.

 

i had to hit em, i stuck the lug nuts on the studs , put em half ona block of wood and hammared away,they took about 5min each,

thank for help

 

Yeah, pretty much you're going to have to bang them apart. I used a rubber mallet. I'd lay the assembly down on the ground, with the lugs holding it up, and pound on the rotor until it slips free.

If you have factory-style rotors, they have a threaded hole in the rotor that you can just put a bolt in. As you tighten the bolt down, the bolt presses against the hub and pops the rotor free. Mazda was way ahead of you on that one .

Many non-OEM rotors don't have the extra threaded hole, though.

When installing new rotors, it's a good idea to put some anti-sieze on the hub so that doesn't happen again.
