did you take the little rubber plug out of the inside of the wheel hub and back off the e-brake. When I changed my rotors they wouldn't budge an inch until I really loosened that e-brake. You gotta turn the that little star wheel nut(don't remember which way) to loosen it. You can turn it with a long screwdriver.

e brakes
Yea i did that also,i don't remember what way i turned it,up i think! It seems to be seized onto the axle shaft and i'm afraid that i'm going to break the rotor itself. So thats where i'm at.

Is the caliper and bracket removed?
If you have a plastic dead blow hammer, try tapping the rotor off in
The area the where the caliper is.
I just replaced an Explorer rear rotor that had more rust on it
Than usual and some persuasion was needed.
BUT, I don't know what yours looks like, so this is one way to approach
To consider.
