Rear brake rotors

[flipper66]

How do the rear rotors come off my 04 Explorer? I took the calipers off and it seems like the rotors are rusted on the axle. Don't want to break something by hitting the rotor if there is a trick to it or something else needs to be removed.

I replaced the rear rotors on my 05 when it was new, I wanted to have cross drilled and slotted rotors for my explorer. Found that the stock rotors were frozen to the hub. I used a large 3 jaw puller to remove the rotor from the hub. With some taps on the hub with a hammer, the rotor came off the hub.

I cant rememeber if I used some penetrating fluid on the hub or not, but i can't see why it would not hurt it.
