The only thing holding the rotor on is the rust at the center of the ring. Then put in your ear plugs and start whacking it with the 8 lb sledge around the outer edge as you rotate it. Eventually the rust will break free and it will come off. Hitting it on the edge (radially) may also help. If you are not replacing the rotor, strategy is the same - just use a wood block and be gentle.
