How do you remove a stubborn rotor for a 2000 ford windstar?

Watch for a small washer-type spring clip on one or more of the studs. This is for manufacturing purposes as it holds the rotor in place until the wheels are installed. Use a screwdriver and pry the spring clip off and discard it (if present). You won't need it later.

Next, use a 2 1/2 lb engineering hammer and tap around the radius of the rotor being careful not to smack your fingers. You may want to use some considerable force with the hammer, but even small taps will slowly move the rotor off the shoes.

Just take your time and try to work around the rotor evenly. It will be much easier if you tap evenly around the rotor since it won't get crooked on the shoes and cause binding.
