What would you assess for when checking the rotor bearing?
I am assuming by rotor bearing you mean a wheel bearing, to see if a wheel bearing is bad there are two was to do this, first is to move the wheel in a up and down motion (with your hands) and see if there is any play, the other way (if it is the front wheel bearings this will only worth with an awd or fwd vehicle) you can lift the car and put it in drive and listen for any noise coming from the bearing itself, you may need a pair of electronic ears or a stethoscope to do this, if there is a grinding or rumbling noise at all, you have yourself a bad wheel bearing

How do you remove the rotor on a 1999 ford ranger 4x4 I got everything off and it will not budge. Ford book no help it doesn't show this type of 4x4 front axle and rotor asembly?
try to look on the back inside of the rotor (right where the shaft goes in) and there should be a seal pressed against it. Pry that seal off and you should be able to pull the rotor straight off. If not, make sure that seal is removed and beat and pry the rotor until it comes off. If you have to do this, it is usually means you have a bad inner bearing. The bearing will need to be replaced. Pull it off the shaft with a three jaw puller.
You've replaced the rear driver wheel bearing assembly it still seems to be going out What else can be the cause to your bearing problem?
Assuming this is a front wheel drive model, it could be any of the following; Rear wheel alignment off Warped rim (even slightly warped) Bad Rotor/drum Incorrect insertion of bearing race Over tightening the bearing/(rotor/drum) nut Bent spindle Bent or worn trailing arm or bushings. Bad quality Wheel Bearings.
Should your rotors be loose?
Bad wheel hub bearing? If you are referring to the slip-on type of rotor, then yes, some of them feel loose on the hub and this is normal.
