Default Rear rotors
I am replacing the rear pads and rotors on my 2000 A4 fwd. Is there anything special to getting the rotors off? Mine are not budging.

I beat the heck out of this rotor with a rubber mallet and it's still not budging.

IIRC, there is a small screw that holds them in place, takes like a T25 torx bit I think.

Never seen that on a B5. But I have had some rotors where I had to beat 'em to death to get them off.

It's been a number of years since I did the rear rotors on my old B5... I know for a fact my current car for sure has that small screw though.

since we are on the subject, I need to do my rear rotors/pads/calipers on my 1997 audi a4 AWD. Any suggestions on where to get the parts?

Is that a F drive? Those rear brakes would be pretty different.
