Rear rotor removal

I can't get the rear rotors off. I've tried pounding on them from the back with a hammer and block of wood, but no luck.
I think I read somewhere that you can drive around with loose wheel nuts and that will free up the rotors from the hubs. Anyone got any advise on this ??

i think you need a bigger hammer. but driving around with them loose is just a bad idea.

What I did with mine was spray WD-40 into the holes around the studs and beat it hard with a 2# hammer. I was replacing the rotors so I didn't care about damaging the old ones...It took a few whacks but they came off....
