I just changed the pads and rotors on the wifes 2003 escape and it was stuck but you have to hammer the rotor all around and that will loosen it up ,you might want to spray some WD40 on before you start hammering

How to remove 1998 jeep grand Cherokee rotor?
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.
Why is the rotor hot?
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.
