On the 85' model, you have to take off the wheel studs to get the rotor off.
The wheel studs have to be pressed out, or use a nut to protect the threads
while pounding on it. Never done it, but sounds like a bitch.

I believe Ben is wrong, you must be talking about front brake rotors, Ben
is referring to the rear drums. If you have rotors, then all the Toyota's
I've seen, have 2 small holes drilled near the lug nut studs, the 2 holes
are opposite each other, they are threaded. You need to find the right
metric bolts (2) one for each hole, then with a rachet and socket you have
to tighten the bolts slowly and evenly, and if necessary pound the side of
the rotor then tighten the bolts more. The bolts have to be long enough to
go thru the holeand hit the backing plate, Once you hit the backing plate,
the bolts will push the rotor outward as you tighten. Good luck
