Well OK, some boilerplate if you insist:
Do not use excessive force in attempting to unbolt
the rotor.
If one bolt breaks off due to excessively forceful
wrenching, do not apply the same proceedure
to the remaining bolts.
If you suspect that loctite has been used, then apply
heat in order to release the loctite.
If you are getting really pissed, walk away and cool
off in order to avoid doing something stupid.
Be especially careful of applying excessive torque to
any bolt that threads into a tapped hole as bad stuff may
happen to the bolt and/or hole.
Better ?
On my bike, they use bolts through the wheel with nuts
on the end, so some of the above precautions don't apply.
