Make sure the emergency brake is released and spray WD40 around the front and back of the rotor. Remove any retaining clips on the lugs. There are ususally two. Then start beating the rotor with a hammer. Eventually it will free up and you can force it off. Sometimes the emergency brake shoes will come off with the rotor if they are rusted through. If this happens it just multipied your job by 10 because if the E pads come off their brackets you have to replace the entire emergency brake shoe and that's a nightmare. Have fun.
