You could have used a puller, or a hydraulic press, or installed a bolt into the rotor and just turned it...

In all my years working on FC's, I've never had to cut one off.

Did you try a dead blow hammer or just a normal metal hammer?

LOL, I had to cut my rear rotor to get the hub nuts off because the suspension moutns were rock solid and i had to take the etire rear suspension to machine shop to be dismantled. Anyhow, I used a rotary cut off tool, took about 5 minutes to cut a decent sized chunk out .

BTW: OEM rotors are about $25 bucks at NAPA
