You do not need to disengage the emergency brake to remove the rotors.
Go to the local Auto store and get yourself an emergency brake spring remover. You will use this to take the spring off and use it to put it back on afterwards. I've used pliers before but its a real pain. The tool will make it 10 times easier. I think this is what you meant.
In order to remove any rotors that stuck on a vehicle, usually you have to hit the rotor hub part with a large hammer being careful not to hit the wheel studs. This is done to break the seal of rust that builds up which keeps the rotor stuck. On some occasions, the rotor will have little threaded holes in which you have to drive the correct size bolt through until the rotor pops off.
Tap on your 1998 Mazda brake rotors with a hammer or mallet until they become loose. The brake rotors will simply slide off.
If they are warped, they need to be turned, if they are groved, they need to be turned. If they are glazed, they need to be turned. In general, if you are working on the brakes, they need to be turned.If they are too thin (not wide enough across) to be turned, they need to be replaced. Many newer rotors are not thick enough to be turned, so you just replace them every time you replace the brakes. Most auto parts retailers will measure the thickness of the rotors for you and tell you if they can be turned.
Yes, as long as it's not warped or anything. The rotors on my cars are also smooth & not warped and I've never turned the rotors in 140,000 miles. Some people turn the rotors as a matter of fact.
The front wheels have abs sensors if applicable. The sensors would be mounted to the spindles not the rotors.

First remove the right and left tires, and then proceed to remove the rotors. After you have replaced the rotors put them back on.
How do you remove the rotors on a 1992 ford aerostar?"
If the truck has disc brakes on the rear then the park brake shoes are located inside the rear rotors. You have to remove the brake calipers, pads and rotors to access them
yes you do have to.The answer is no you don't have to disconnect the emergency brake cable, just remove the whole calliper and the rotor will come off no problem, its a good idea to change the emergency brake shoes if needed and lube the linkages, that's is all.
With the wheel off, remove the calipers, then the rotors just come off.
