Surprised no one picked up on this one...
The rotors are riveted to the hubs.
The factory did this to make their life easier, and the rivets are not necessary.
But you need to drill them out to remove the rotor.
Remove the whole hub, which you should do anyway to regrease the bearings, and drill them out on a drill press
