this post is misleading because it sounds like you're saying the brake rotors were bad, but you also said you damaged them because you couldnt get them off. Which is it exactly?
You must brake or ride your brakes an aweful lot to a) need new pads at 34,000 miles and b) need to rotate your rotors.

The rotors should not have been that hard to remove.SoI damaged them getting them off.I live in a big city lots of stop and go.that means I apply the brakes a lot and I drive fast!

Don't know why they were frooze on.But the Pass front was the same way.I took a base ball bat jammed it against the front diff and behind the rotor started the car cut the wheel into it to pop it off...This took many attempts.
NO response needed here

Next time you have a hard time with rotors use an air hammer..
Go between the studs works great. Vibrations break them free. I use this method allot works great.
Or use a hammer hitting the same..between studs. If you use a hammer put the lugs back on so you dont damage threads.
