I've done several breaks before, just never had any stuck like these.

Put a block of wood against the rotor and hit that with a hammer.
I have a dead blow hammer.

so these are not pressed - that's how tough they seem to be on there.

Did you get them off? I was out modding my truck and walking the dogs.
It's common for the rotor to be separate from the hub.

I did - for a 2009 they had locked on - started with a 2x4 2lb hammer, quickly dropped the 2x4 and just hammered away at them... crazy. 2hrs a rotor - .15min for the breaks go figure. saving and extra 300.00 for deer camp - priceless!!!
