Whats preventing you from getting the rotors off? Are all the nuts off and the rotors themselves just not coming out?

I would knock gently with a hammer and pull. Repeat a gazillion times if you havnt already.

Also, soak it up in PB blaster to hopefully lessen the hold the rust has on your rotors

You do have the parking brake off, right?

Hit it really hard with your space bar.

Spray grease, let it sit and hammer with rubber mallet. It's probably rusted like a mofo.

Spray some liquid wrench and let it soak for a while then hit it all over the area around the surface where the rotor mates to the hub then if it's still stuck repeat the liquid wrench soak wait 5 minutes and hit it again repeat as often as it takes and it will come off.

NOTE: A Steel hammer will work better to loosen the rust.
