If you have the caliper assembly off the rotor should just come right off. Keep in mind rust gets behind th rotors and will adhere them to the hub. It may be necessary to spray the front and rear of the rotor with some rust penetrant. Let it sit and then start whaling on the outer edge of the rotor with a heavy hammer or small sledge. This should bust them loose.
