Question
I've got brake caliper off but can't get rotor off

Answer
Did you take the hanger off that the caliper bolts to?  If you did the rotor is basically rusted to the hub.  You will have to use a puller to get the rotor to seperate from the hub.  If you look close you will see two threaded holes that you can screw bolts into that will force the rotor off.  If yours does not have these small holes between the studs you might get a dead blow hammer and give it a wack or two.  I had to do that on my corvette since the rotors were rusted on.  A dead blow hammer is plastic with steel shot inside so you will not damage the rotor.  Wack the rotor and then spin the rotor and wack on the opposite side and it should come off.
