front brakes

So i have to replace my brake hose on the drivre side due to rust and while i am at it i am planning on replacing the Rotors and Pads. Yes my rotors are rusted on, any suggestion on how to remove???? I have seen the Jacking technique, the flame and the pound the crap out of the rotor so if anybody has a better way Speak up

I was lucky when I first removed the rotors on my 2003. They came off with a moderate amount of pounding etc. Once off, I clean the metal all around the center of both the rotor and hub and coated with anti-seize. Ever since I've not had any problems removing the rotors.
