Significant Technical Input
Most all Japanese cars use an 8x1.25 mm bolt. Don't try to take it off with the two bolts alone though. Spray some WD40, or weapon of choice, around each lug and the rotor center. After a couple minutes rap the 'hat' portion of the rotor with a hammer a few times. Don't hit the center of the hub protruding through the rotor or the lugs. Then you can use the bolts in the rotor to help. Screw them in a reasonable distance and, if needed, rap rotor with the hammer again. If you try to do this with the bolts alone you'll usually succeed in stripping the threads from the rotor.

Good Luck,

Beav
