Stuck Rotor!

I changed my front pads & rotors with ease, but when I started on the drivers side rear I got stuck on the rotor. The thing will not budge. I lifted both rear wheels off the ground and spun the rotor so I could hit it in different spots from the back but it still won't free up. What can I do to get if off?

Yeah, they get stuck on there pretty good. Only thing that will get them loose is the BFH. For me, I had to give it a few good wacks with the small sledge.

Definitely get a BFH (big ****ing hammer). I've been through this about 5 times on my truck, they rust on there all the damn time! Takes me an hour of wacking each time. Be careful but get some leverage behind it and try and warp it out to break up that hold on them. Also, RELEASE THAT PARKING BREAK. The rotor is what the parking brake adhears to.
