Have you tried a hammer? How about a bigger one? (jus' kidn') Release the parking brake, remove the calipers, rap the rotors near the hub a few times to break them loose, them PULL.

I was wondering the same thing on my 2000 Superduty...I need to take the rear rotors off to get them turned...when I hit the brakes the dang thing is shakin' like it needs a drink! the front rotors were a snap...the rears seem to be all one piece! How do I get them off?
Thank ya!

Cool

You Have To Take The Rear Axles Out On The Ex, F-250 And F350. Yes, This Is A Very Stupid Thing But That Is What I Had To Do When I Changed Mine.

rear rotors

Once I released the parking brake pressure, a lot of hits with a sledge hammer, they popped right off.

actually...my bad...I went with a "know-it-all"friend's advice...coupled with the optical delusion that they were all one piece...upon further inspection and a lot of PB Blaster, I found they are indeed 2 pieces...in fact, once I get them loose they are a snap to replace...all that worry for nothing! well...except the price of the parts that is!
Thanks! ! !

Only on a dually, and you'd only have to pull the hub, if I recall correctly.
