you need a bigger hammer.

use the threaded holes on the rotor to pop the rotor off using a bolt

i think it's a M8 bolt......? maybe M6


or use more elbow grease to get that sucka off.

ya.. i had the same issue... took me 1h hour for each side. Becasue of the parking brakes, there sometimes a litle lip that forms around the shoes, on the inner of the disc drums... this thing get stuck with the shoes and is very hard to get off...

if you're able to gigle the discs, then no need to keep hammering them...

oh and make sure the parking brake is not up! lol

Just do what everyone said.
Don't wait to scare you but when i was changin' my OEM rear rotors to my DBA rotors, one of the rear e-brakes let loose and locked my rotor on, so i had to release the spring tension to get the rotor off.

now what you got to do is treat is nicely talk to it real smooth like rub her down with a little lube and then HIT THAT S>>T

if I remember correctly, the bottom bolt of the caliper actually fits in that hole perfectly...
