Ford Freestyle rear rotor?

Does anyone know how to get the rear rotor off of a 2005 ford freestyle? We went to change the pads and found that the rotor is ate up on the back side of just 1 of the rear rotors, but we cant get the thing off. There is some type of a bolt / screw towards the middle of the rotor that looks like it would need a star bit to get it off but all of the ones we have used havent worked. PLEASE HELPFord Freestyle rear rotor?Yes you will need a big star bit to remove but be careful not to strip the star bolt then you are really in trouble I think its a 40 -45 not sure now I just repaired brakes on son van had the same thing , Make sure you use a 38 ratchet and a socket That will fit the star bit and apply pressure to it as you turn the star bolts have lock tight on them , Here is something else to consider you will not need those bolts after you remove them they just are there th hold them on at the factory, hope this helps.Ford Freestyle rear rotor?contact your local ford dealer to see if it is part of an owner satisfaction program for rear brake pad inspection/replacement and rotor replacementFord Freestyle rear rotor?I use a torx bit (forget the size) and their is a tool you can buy at the local discount auto parts store called a impact driver... You use a hammer to hit on it, and it will transmit the force to loosen the bolt. It's the best thing I've found to get them bolts off.



And the recall is only good for 3 year 36k miles (60k Canada) which ever comes first.
