Driling Rotors

Anyone ever drill the stud holes just oversize enough so that the rotor slides over the studs? Just trying to make it easier to replace rotors instead of having to remove hub and press out studs.

mine came right out with a hammer, didn't even have to pound on them. I used a press to put them in though.

It depends on what truck you have, but I think the rotor actually fits onto the hub from behind. So you still have to remove the hub.

If the stud holes were drilled out how would you keep the studs from turning when tightening or untightening the lug nuts?
