Sorry, I have run into this problem many times in my shop. The problem is that there is very little clearance between the rotor and hub flange, as the rotor rusts it expands arround the flange. In worst cases I haven't been able to save the rotor and have had to cut them off.
some times I've been able to sneek in and remove the sensors to remove the rust with out removing the rotor, but it always very tight quarters.

Is your hand brakes cable hold the rear brakes? If it does then the cable is rusted inside the cable housing causing the caliper to be holding the other side.. Replace hand brake cables. Or try to release the cable.

How to remove crossfire front brake rotors

front rotor removal you need to remove the brake caliper including the brake caliper bracket so nothing is in the way, there should be a 7mm set screw in the rotor remove that, then get some pb blaster and spray the center part of the hub and the back part of the hub very liberally then you have to use a hammer and beat it off, a way to make it easier is to rotate the rotor as you beat it. It will come off.

I removed the caliper & caliper bracket but rotor won't come off.

Im not sure what kind of car this is but first make sure there are no bolts on the front holding the rotor to the hub , if there are no bolts then the rotor is frozen to hub, you will need to beat the rotor off, using a hammer kit the rotor with force and turn every so often, hit it from the area where the caliper sat. good day.

I have a 2003 lincoln navigator 4x4 and would like to know how to remove both front rotor

Remove the brake calipers and the caliper brackets. Then the rotors should slide off, (should) Some times you need to beat the hell out of them with a big hammer. But don't hit the wheel studs.

2006 toyota corolla - rotors

The large bolt that you see is the nut that holds the axle shaft to the hub. You do not need to remove it to remove the rotors. You just need to remove the caliper & the caliper bracket. Normally, the rotors come off of the hubs easily, but sometimes, they rust onto the hub. My techs beat and beat and beat until they come off. With large hammers. Note that after they are beaten off, the rotors are no longer viable for re-use.
