Removing I/S rear rotor

[Whooray]

I’ve acquired a used rear tire with mounted rotor plate.
I’m trying to remove the rotor and man are bolts really tight.
I’m afraid of them breaking if I apply any more pressure.
Any suggestions on how I might get them out? 
                               Thanks,     Raymond

Have you tried some heat ? I think they have a fair amount of locktite (or Honda’s version) on them.

  Use a blunt center punch that fits in the allen socket. Hit it hard and do all of them.  A hand impact driver will also help. Do not be bashful. Use the correct size allen socket.

Are you able to reuse the same bolts?

Are you using a breaker bar or just a ratchet handle?  If the latter get a breaker bar at it should come right loose.

Da Prez! You da man.  Used a blunt end punch with small ball pen hammer… wasn’t bashful ….but not super aggressive.   Broke ‘em loose and pulled them out.

Thank you all for great “fix it” ideas.     Raymond

yes can be re-used, torqued correctly and with high temp medium thread lock. Honda's high temp medium thread lock is red in color.  Hondalock 2 HT - Medium Strength High-Temp Threadlock

if u use common red thread locker which isn't high temp or medium strength u will need heat to remove the bolts.
