I'm sure it's metric, but my experience is the threads will pull out as you try to push the rotor off.

I've had to remove the studs and spray PB blaster into the holes to get it between the hub and the rotor. And then hit with a ball peened hammer until it gets loose.

I've used the screws before to act as a source of "encouragement" on the rotor while I beat the everlivinshit out of it with a sledge. As the rotor came off, I kept tightening the bolts. Have no idea what size. PB Blaster,PB Blaster,PB Blaster,PB Blaster!

I'm nearly certain it's 6mm x 1.5 thread. Standard bolt that holds many many parts on the car together. I've never had a problem with using them to help things along as Kicks mentioned.

Yeah, I stole Kicks' logo and personalized it. Sorry for the mass confusion.
