There is a lesson here.
Whenever I get a new vehicle, I spend a few hours putting oil and neversieze on things that I might want to remove in the future. New vehicles are mostly assembled dry, because they don't want greasy hands and tools on the assembly lines. I put oil on any seam or location where I want oil in there before water gets there. Rear rotors need to be removed to lubricate the parking brake shoes or things will go wrong there.
My 03 Areo came with green grease applied to the hub where the wheel goes on. This will help keep rust out of the rotor-hub interface too. I put a light film of antisieze on the wheel face and mating rotor surface, as rotor rust will cement to the alloy wheel face and you can't remove it. Steel wheels allow more rusting of this area than allow wheels. Rotor indexing bolts need to be removed and neversiezed. Tighen these only enough to keep them in place. They should not be tight! All they need to do is keep the rotor oriented until the wheel bolts go in. It is not a critical mechanical fastener. But if you can't remove it when you need to do brake work, that is a real problem.
