If you cant get past removing the callipers ,for your sake and those others on the road , take the vehicle to a quallified mechanic.
=== Seems like I answered this same question in another group. There are threaded holes in the rotor through which you insert bolts, then tighten slowly and evenly to press off the rotor.
You sure you don't mean the rear drums? I remember this is true for stuck rear drums, but I never tried removing the front rotors...

I notice in this pdf manual that they refer to the "disc", while I have seen some on the auto newsgroups get touchy about the use of any term but "rotor". (Disc is fine with me....)
There is a really good site which discusses some of the issues involved with disc service.

I would suggest that anyone contemplating working on his or her disc brakes read this carefully. There is good information here which applies to essentially any disc brake system, regarding two types of variations in the disc, what causes them, and how to do the job so that you get the best results.
Hope it helps.
=== Front rotors work the same way, only different size bolts. I know this because the bolts that worked in the front rotors did not fit the rear drums. Same principle though.
Tap on the section between the hub and the disc witha ball peen hammer to loosen the rust.
Thanks, Tegger!
