Remove the caliper, remove the caliper bracket, and remove speed clips that hold rotor. If the rotor is stuck , take a hammer and hit it squarely between the wheel studs.
Usually you can put a screwdriver between the edge of the rotor and the caliper and pry up on it. Stuck from rust, heat, or piston in caliper will not release? Rust, heat, it will pry up. Not releasing, open bleeder screw if possible without breaking it off.
After the wheel and brake caliper are removed, the rotor will most likely be stuck to the wheel hub. You will have to hammer, pry, soak with penetrant, and hammer some more to get it off.After the wheel and brake caliper are removed, the rotor will most likely be stuck to the wheel hub.

This is normal. Average braking causes friction which causes heat but, excessive heat from one rotor could be caused by a sticky or stuck brake caliper.
Dead cell in battery, a light is on somewhere on the vehicle, or a relay is stuck.
No but, the next time that brake seems stuck open the bleeder on that stuck caliper and see if the caliper releases the pressure. If so you may have a bad brake hose or a pinched brake line that holds pressure.
either caliper is seized up and stuck to the rotar or the bearings need to be replaced!
Simply remove the wheel and the brake caliper. You remove the caliper by taking out the two bolts in the back of the caliper. The rotor just slides over the five lug bolts like the wheel (or rim). It may be stuck with rust and corrosion so you may have to use a little force to pop it off.
Remove the float from the Regal. inspect the float for leaks, then check the spring and needle valve as it could be stuck. If all parts are ok then the parts need cleaning as they are sticking.
Stuck caliper piston, frozen caliper sliders, collasped brake hose, pinched brake line, grease on the rotor and worn out steering or suspension parts.
what i would do is get some wd40 a pry bar and pry tht sucker right off.(you may need a new rotor after that or at least resurface yours)
Lift car, remove wheel, remove caliper & caliper bracket (bolts in back near strut). Give the rotor a wack with a hammer if it's stuck on the hub and remove it. Reverse to install.
