front rotors, I got everything off.... and it looks like the rotors should just pull off but I can't get them to budge

just to make sure, I don't have to remove the cotter pin and the nut that nut right? I think that's for the bearings and stuf. right?

I use the hammer....

Mine was a total bitch too. I banged at it with a hammer for quite awhile to no avail. My final solution was to grab a scissorjack and uhh.. jack it off https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif Put the foot against the inner wheelwell and put the top part against the back of the rotor and slowly raised it up a bit then did the same to the other side and it came right off.

you guys with your tools. break out your work boots and lightly kick the rotor off of the car. i say lightly cuz u might go crazy and knock your car off its supports and that becomes another problem..
