Unhappy Rear rotors will not come off!

2004 Ford F150. Replacing all 4 rotors and the front ones are done, BUT the rear rotors will not come off. I have "love" tapped it several times and even pulled out the blow torch. Any other suggestions?

Suggestions greatly appreciated as I am right in the middle of it now...

Chances are your e-brake drums are causing the rotors to stick. Grab a can of PB Blaster and spray everywhere. In the lugs, behind the lugs, behind the rotor, let them sit and beat them off. Hit them inbetween the lugs all around. Don't be a sissy, drop the purse and HIT THEM! lol. Its best to put the lug nuts on the studs to avoid thread damage!

ALSO. When putting the new ones are, use ATON of Anti-Seize against the axle to prevent this from happening again. I hope you did this up front since those usually freeze on there to the point you have to crack the rotor to get them off
