How can I get them apart. I've almost tried everything. If I can't get these off by tomorrow I'm going to have to take it to pops shop and use the 20 ton press.

Remove the 4 bolts that hold the rotor to the spindle/hub. They should then easily seperate with minor persuasion.

There's no way I can get to those bolts. I have a fix key on the bolt, but what can I counter act the nut with? There's no 14mm that fits in there because of the spindle and a wrench can't get in there and hold it secure, it can only get have of the nut.

That's what I have. It will not fit around the nut and hold the whole nut.

In order to take mine off I had to remove the bearing so I can get the nuckle and hub apart. I used a press, a die press.

When I took my new slotted rotors to the dealer they did take the bearing out in order to let the old rotor loose...

Now I'm wondering if the bearings on my old 97 were just THAT clapped out.
When I took those 4 bolts off, I just grabbed once side, had a friend grab the other, and it just pulled apart. (with some jerking and twisting necessary).

If all else fails... Try the machine shop.
