Loctite removal

Greetings all,
Following a surprise in my brake hardware, I will be replacing my front rotors.
Unfortuneately, I used Loc tite to secure the studs.
What methods are there to remove the Loc tited studs?
I will already be replacing rotors and possibly pads. I would like to avoid having to replace those too.
Thanks,
Mark

Sounds like I'll be heating things up. I built the car about 4 years ago. I will have to find the remnants of the Loc tite to check the color.
Then start scouring the "yards" for newish rotors.
Thank you.

Yaaaah! Heating the rotor/stud cooked out the Loc tite. It took about 10 minutes to get them all out. Thanks again.
