I had a problem getting the front rotors off a car that had been sitting for a few years. The aluminum hub had corroded and seized inside the rotor. Try spraying contact cleaner inside the rotor around the hub. The contact cleaner is a trick that is often used on Land Rovers when the alloy wheels sieze to the hubs. Will probably require a lot of striking with a large hammer!

I tried lightly hitting with a 3 lb hammer, no luck.
