Changing my rotors- What size in the hub nut?
Evidently my largest metric socket it 24mm and that wont cut it. I have to buy a new one for this job, what size is the bolt so I make sure I get the one I need. I plan on buying a set, but with my luck it would skip the one size I actually need.

Screw me.... I used more effective search terms and found the answer.
32mm
and here are some keywords in case someone needs to look in the future.
rotor, brakes, brake, wheel bearing, nut, hub, supra, LS400, LS, 400, TT, how to, diy

They are most likely rusted onto the hub. To get the rotor free off the hub, you need 1 or 2 bolts that will screw into the little holes you see in the picture. When you screw these bolts in, the bolt will push against the hub and then the rotor will "pop" off.
You took too many steps, all you need to do is remove the brake calipers then the rotors will come off.
Here is an example of what I'm talking about:

If you are still having issues with the rear rotors not coming off even with the parking brake off. You'll have to collapse the brake shoes by rotating the star adjustment wheel. Over time a lip can be formed on the drum of the rotor causing shoes to catch the lip of the rotor.
Rotate the rotor until you point the access hole of the rotor straight down (hole in between wheel studs). Use a flat head screw driver to lift up or push down until the rotor is free.

Actually I havent attempted to pull it yet. My gf convinced me that I need to finish walling out my in-wall reef tank and refinishing the cabinets before doing any significant work to the car.... and I just finished painting the calipers today. Rotor pull will probably happen tomo
Edit: I have a rubber mallet and will give that a go. If it doesnt work Ill upgrade to one of the 25 hammers Ive managed to accumulate. As mentioned, it doesnt matter if I frak up the rotor. The new ones are vastly superior.

I don't recommend doing it this way.... but...
For the fronts, i used a block of wood and stuck it in between the rear of the rotor and somewhere in the fender well, turned the wheel, and popped the rotor off.
For the rears, i used the factory scissor jack and did pretty much the same thing, stuck it behind, turned it until it popped off.....
lol.
