A regular hammer won't cut it, not enough surface area or mass. I used a big rubber mallet and they came right off

if your not into violence, you could use a anglegrinder and cut it in 2 pieces.

using a big hammer is a option, but can leave you with something beat up, there wasent surposed to be beat up.

Heat is gonna make it easier. I've used 3 propane torches at once on a drum, before I figured out I could power-brake it for heat! (no won't work on the front of (my) Jeep).

Put a block of wood on the rotor and hit it with a sledge. End of story. If you arent putting a new rotor on, I dont know if Id hit it with a hammer, even a rubber mallet on a piece of wood. But honestly, if its on there that bad, its not going to hurt to but new rotors.

I hammered the crap out of the front rotor on my ‘02 Jeep Grand Cherokee, used almost a whole can of PB Blaster, hammered and beat the crap out of the thing, let it sit with the lube on there, hammered again with hammers, sledge, pipe wrenches and it wouldn’t budge .. got some bolts/nuts from Home Depot and tried the technique in this video (torque the bolts up from behind to pop rotor off) it popped off very easily, should’ve tried it sooner before wasting almost a whole day bustin my butt.
Thanks for the video 👍
