Well beating in clock wise or counter clock wise motion from the inside. Beat on and do the same thing on the hub of the rotor. Your probably going to need a 5lb sledge hammer. I had a buddy that his were so Fing stuck after hours and hours of beating. I busted out the air chisel until I final got it deep enough and then took a had held chisel and split the rotor casing hub. Just on the top enough to relive the pressure. Came right off after that. We did this on both sides. So, if you run out of ideas you might have to go that route. I suppose if you dont have air tools, and your good with a sawzall then you could do the same method. The important thing is after you get them off hit the axle part where the hub sits with a high speed wire wheel. To get that rust build up off. I wish I saved the pictures of the rotors. They looked link sprocket gears where they had broke off from the beating they took. I ran into this problem on another tuck and I did the same method with the air chisel. Worked like a charm. I thought I would never have to do one like that again. Boy was I wrong. I imagine if I had a lift then you could get some real good swings on it
