Front rotor change question

Tomorrow I will be replacing the front rotors on my 2000 OBW. Does anyone know the specs for the bolts that you can thread through the rotor hat in order to free it from the hub? TIA

Hello:

 

He is right it is 8MM. I did mine a month ago and did not even come close to needing to use them. I couple hits with a rubber mallet and they were loose. That was a good thing as only one of mine had the threaded holes. Even though I bought the car with 9K I guess one was replaced at some point before I got the car. Good luck with the top bolts that hold the caliper brackets, they can be a bear!

A tip I've heard that supposedly works very well on frozen on rotors is an impact hammer run between the studs. Heck Harbor Freight has one on sale for $5 now.
