They can be difficult to separate as the caliper piston has pressure on it against the pads and the rotor typically has a rim of rust around the outer circumference but can be pried apart. With that many miles I would replace the rotors and as long as it is apart, I would't re-use the old brake pads as old pads and new rotor's don't make sense as long as it's apart and I believe not recommended. To be able to turn the rotor's, there must be enough material left to do so and there's a minimum dimension required. Good luck!

be sure and use a high quality rotor (OEM, Bendix, etc.) Some of the low cost aftermarket rotors from some of the autoparts chains are not completely smooth and will cause a pulsation in the brake pedal
