Remove the wheel, calipers and brakes, and the rotor will come off.

the fit of the rotors is so tight and they were so rysted to the axel housing that even beating them with sledge hammer they wouldn't come off..even when heated and soaked with penetrating oil...eventually had to cut them off with a wizzer wheel

Wow! I've never seen them that bad. Usually a dead blow hammar will take them off.
