If you have removed the attaching screw and everything is free so you see the entire front of the rotor--take a hammer and hit the outside bottom one good rap and it should come off. good luck.

After the attaching screw is removed and the rotor face is fully exposed, strike the outer bottom of the rotor once firmly with a hammer to free it.
