unbolt your calipers and get them out of the way without putting too much strain on the brake lines. then pull or use a mallet to gently knock them loose to pull off.

Thanks guys.. yup I always zip tie the calipers to save the line when I play in there. Cant believe they come off that easy, are all cars like that?

Use a rubber mallet!
You're not only going to hurt your back if you use a hammer, but you may also be driving on damaged rotor if you couldn't remove it. Spraying some PB Blaster or WD40 or liquid wrench into the crevice of the stud EASILY loosens it enough to be removed without a hammer!

I really liked using my 5 pound sledge , but have changed over to a 5 pound dead blow on them. Moral of the story, BFH of some kind.
