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.

Suggested Repair

With the caliper removed, the front rotor should slide off. If rust has seized it to the hub, spray rust penetrant on the front and rear of the rotor, let it soak, then strike the outer edge with a heavy hammer to break it free.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1997 Geo Metro LSI asked how to remove the front rotors. The expert said that once the caliper is off, the rotor should come off, but rust can bond it to the hub. Penetrant and hammering the outer edge should loosen it.
