If it is realy stuck, spray some pb blaster or wd40, let it soak and then bang it around CAREFULLY around the edges and around the hub, you dont want to ruin the surface with a hammer lol. The brake dust shield does not have to come off.

Here is a pic, not the best angle, but gives you an idea:

If I were replacing my rotors again I would get Brembo rotors.

it is better ti start your own thread and not dig up 2yr old ones and ask questions.
take your rotors to NAPA Or any place like a machine shop. If they can turn tem they will tell you if not you have to buy new ones
