'95 GSX, break shudder, rear rotors, Trying to solve shudder, rear rotor Options

1995 GSX

My car began shuddering under moderate breaking about 10,000 miles ago (@ 100k now). At first I ignored it, then I changed the front rotors, which seemed to help a little. My car still shudders, but only under moderate breaking, if I break hard, or lightly, I've got no problems.

(I think I scare the other drivers by approaching stoplights too quickly just so I can break hard lol)

So, a mechanic buddy of mine suggested that if it shuddres and the steering wheel doesn't vibrate, it's probably the rear rotors. So I bought two rear rotors and am in the process of trying to replace them. The problem I'm having is that I can't get the darn things off. I moved the caliper and the two bolts that hold the bracket in place, but it doesn't budge. Am I missing something? I'm afraid to take a hammer to it until I'm sure I'm not missing a bolt. The rotor around the studs is pretty rusty, so I sprayed some wd40 on it hoping it would break loose... no luck. Suggestions?

Thanks all.

Don't eclipse rotors have the two threaded holes in them for pulling them. I beat on one of mine and did the second the right way. Can you guess which one took two hours and which took ten minutes?

I found factory rotors on my GSX with the threaded holes and my car does have 100,000 miles on it, so it is quite possable you do have factory rotors on your car.
