There are lots of posts from people with different methods of removing brake rotors. In theory they should just fall off with the wheel, caliper and hex retaining screw removed.
This is what I do if it is stuck: Leave the hub ON the car add some penetrating oil around the hub where the disc contacts it. Brush this junction with a wire brush to remove rust.
Put 3 of the lug bolts back in the hub. 2 together and one across from it.
Take a 2x4 about a foot and a half long and place it flat across the tops of the 3 wheel bolts. Use 2 c-clamps to clamp the 2x4 to the rotors like a sandwich. You are bracing the 2x4 on the center of the hub (using the bolts as a contact point) and pulling the rotor towards the 2x4. If the clamps get pretty tight and they haven't popped off just whack the rotor once with a hammer. It will "POP" off, the clamps will fall to the ground and the bolts will keep the rotor from falling completely off. This has been very effective for me!
Clean the hub contact area with a wire brush and use a little anti-seize compound to make it easier next time.
Good Luck!
