Tap gently on the back of the brake rotor with a "helper" ...
Alternating sides of course ... Mine just popped right off

(And we wonder why SEARCH never works .... LOL)

j/k guy ...

fronts take off the dust cap, remove the pin, unscrew the nut, pull the washer off , then the bearing, then put the nut back on and pull the rotor off the spindle, catch the rear bearing with the nut, this pulls off the rear seal.

rears big hammer, not wd-40, use spray penetrating oil, hit between the wheel studs until it comes loose. don't hit around the rotor edges unless its a last resort.
