Nope. The easiest method for removing a stuck rotor on my Lexus or the Z is using the screw holes in the rotor hub. Just screw a bolt into them and it will press against the wheel hub and pop the rotor off without all that chiseling hassle.

I am referring to the suspension knuckle where the wheel bearing and hub are pressed in. Just removing the knuckle and hub was a pain, requiring a puller tool and two different joint separator tools. Then you have to deal with the bearing I'll post up some pictures later.
