Do what I did. Put the car in neutral and find a nice heavy hammer, Whack the rotor, then turn. Keep repeating til its removed. I had a hell of a time removing them as well

did you whack the front of the rotor or hit it from the rear?

I had to smack the crap out of the rotor on all sides with a hammer to get it to bust loose

I was replacing my rotors so I did not give a crap what happened to the stockers while I was beating them off...although they came off undamaged

I cannot recall if there is access to the e-brake adjuster on them. That seems to be the issue on removal.

Mine slid right off. I credit constant use of the e-brake for that.

I got mine off with a huge gear puller and a 10lb sledge. It wasn't pretty but it worked. :D
