First remove the caliper bracket by removing the 2 bolts holding it on. You may have to heat the bolts to get them loose or use a big breaker bar. Then look for 2 philips screws holding the rotor on take them out . then you should be able to remove the rotor if you tap it with an hammer
It is stuck on there with rust happens all the time
get a hammer and give it a smack on the part were the wheel studs are.a firm smack if that dont work hit it were the pads ride you should see it start to **** on one side hit other side.i have never seen a car rotor on a domestic that had the spindle nut holding on rotor so im resonably sure yuor ok beating it
after some hammer work just replace rotors there cheap and i never recomend turning them it just makes them thinner and more prone to warpage

well look at your new rotors. is the center hole a few inches in diameter or is it like the size that that nut is if its the big center hole the they are stuck bigtime at the shop we use a 5 pound sledge and sometimes a big swing is needed
lay in to it man big hammer one huge hit that breaks it free wont hurt nothing millions of little hits can do some damage
ps dont miss
oxy accetalene torch or a big propane one you want to heat the rotor up fast so less heat is transfered to the hub. they can handle alot of heat but you dont want to glow it.the rust will tend to insulate the so thats an advantage try one of those tourches that screws onto a quart cylinder and run it around the rotor

Ok I realize that is probally true but looking at the but it seems as though it is holding it in. I have new rotors ready to go in it. Are you 100% sure that the nut is not holding those rotors in? I have already beaten those rotors senseless and I'll do it some more if you think thats it. But it just seems like that nut is holding it in.

It is bigger on the new rotors I just checked it. I guess they are stuck big time then. I mean I'll never do a favor for the gf again honestly. The caliper bolts and everything else had to be taken off in superman mode. So if I am punding away with a hammer and nothing good is happening do I just stick with it?
Ok well I'm a big dude. I've been laying into it. I'll try some more. Just a question. What do you do if it doesn't ever come free? I mean is there something for that?
Update. Got it off. Beat it a ridiculous amount. Because of you of course. Thanks for always being right! ;) Have a good night.
