HELP - Removing Front Disc Brake Rotor - 1997 A4 2.8 Quattro
See pic.
I've pulled everything off and the rotor will not budge. Done some searching and have a few manuals but none show this bolt/nut and how to remove.
Anyone have insight/feedback? Appreciate the help!

No, that's an axle bolt, leave it alone. Grab a sledge and some rust breaker. Hose the crap out of the hub area. Hammer away on the rotor surface left, then right. It will walk right off. You are replaceing the rotors anyway, don't be afraid to damage the old ones.
Before replacing the rotors, be sure to clean the rust off the hub and coat it with some nice high-temp anti-seize.

Ha! While writing that I thought, "I wonder if anyone will hit me up with, 'that's what she said'".
Thanks everyone. I successfully slammed the rotor off.
