Did you adjust the E-brake to back off the shoes? They may be extended out and locking the rotor from coming off.
If you know that is done and the rotor rivots are off, then get a 3lb engineers hammer, and wack it from the back side out. I assume your not saving the rotors.
You can also spray down the hub edges to try to get PB blaster in between the rotor and hub.

I'm sure you've done all this but:
1. Back off the e-brake adjustment through the little hole so that you can turn the disk by hand (OK you might need a short bar in the vents to turn it).
2. Ensure there are no rivets or screws holding the disk to the spindle flange.
3. Ensure the caliper is removed.
4. Hit the back of the disk with an effin big hammer (lump hammer)
5. If you are REALLY stuck, a disk can be sawn (very soft material)
