Anyone in the area have a rotor puller?

Help? I can't get my front rotors off with a rubber mallet. It's either a puller or I slap a 2x4 on it and go wildthing with a steel mallet.

insert a 12mm bolt into the holes in the rotors and screw them in. alternate each hole until the rotor breaks loose

Now I thought about it and realized there is only one hole in 370z front rotors.

If you're replacing the rotor all together then 5 pound metal mallet that thing! Make sure you give yourself a lot of room.

Huh? Your rotor is seized on right? Screw in the bolt.

I wacked mine with a 3 pound sledge hammer and even at that, they wouldn't budge until I cursed a lot. Penetrating oil on the bolts helps too.
