look at the center of the rotor, theres a circle retaining clip for like for a better word, spray some wd 40 on it and take a screw driver and a hammer and kind of pry it off youll see what im talking about when u get a better look at it

As long as the e-brake is down, you're good. I don't know if they are designed the same way as f-bodies, but if so, you probably just need a bigger hammer.

well if the e brake is down and u have the circle thing gone off the hub there, just beat the hell out of them till they come off

spray some pentrant around the hub and around the lugs thru the rotor, let is
set for a few minutes, tap the hub with a hamer from the front side, spray again, and beat on the back turning the rotor between swings. Corrosion gets between the hub and rotor and kinda swells it some to an interfearence type of fit., once off clean the hubs with a whizzer wheel and brush on some antisize too the hub.
