M10x1.25x80 bolt with nut and washer...



My Mitsubishi had a threaded hole in the front face of the brake disc where you could use the bolt from the radiator mount to release a seized rotor. Heavenly doing a brake job on that car.

My Honda Civic, I snapped the rotor in 2 using a large jaw puller to get it off... then only extreme heat and a BFH worked to get the remaining half off, on a lift at the mechanics shop. Worst DIY brake job ever.
