Last time I did this, rotors did not exactly fall off! They had been put on with copper paste plus there was some corrosion - I had to soak them with WD-40 and hammer them really hard to get them to release. Should probably have used some heat .
When replacing, I applied a very thin coat of high temperature bearing grease to the mating surfaces so as to help with future release. Hopefully so little that if it runs it will not affect the braking. So far so good after 5000+ km.
