There are two screws in between the studs. Undo those. Then there are two bolt holes opposite the screws. Thread a long bolt into those. Then the rotor should slowly pop off.

yeah what he said, if your replacing your rotors you can tap the old ones off with a hammer.They do tend to stick sometimes...

The rotor just sits on the wheel studs and is held on sometimes by 2 screws, do like they said to get them off or just bang on it with a rubber hammer and it will come off. The Hub is what is pressed into the knuckle, and the rotor sits on the hub, but they aren't really attached. The only reason you need to take out the spindle nut is to take off the axels or remove the knuckle.
