Is the rotor loose, or siezed on the hub?

If not loose, you need to whack the **** out of it with a hammer/mallet.

I have found that heating the rotor up with a propane blowtorch for 5-10 minutes will make it come off much easier than brute force, heat it up a bit, then whack it with a hammer.

It looks like your caliper is just hanging there in the one pic........ Please tell me you have it secured with something supporting it other than the rubber brake line.....Eeek.
