Try to spray them down with some penetrating oil (PB Blaster) and get your favorite hammer out and try and knock it off.

We've used a jaw puller to put some pressure on it, and then some real hard smacks with a big hammer.

Clean the hub best you can with a wire brush,soak it with some PB blaster and break out the BFH

You may have to replace the parking brake shoes if you pound on the rotors real hard. Just something to keep in mind.

May sure to back off the parking brakes. There's a whole in the back of the brake assembly with a star wheel in it that turns. Stick a screw driver in there and figure out which way turns it to loosen. Then go hammer happy with a good size hammer on the rotor and it should come off.

And, when you install the new rotors, use some Never-Seize where the rotor meets the hub. It will prevent this from happening in the future.
