front or back?
front all you have to do is take off the caliper and they slide right off.
back will do the same but make sure your e-brake isn't on other wise you wont get em off. if the brake is not in use then they slide right off

mine were not rusted at all. make sure all the bolts are off first, i had to hit mine with a rubber mallet to get them to come off though.
are you throwing these ones away?

When I swapped my rear the OEM rotors had a small "clip" over one of the lugs holding it on.

Probly a little late but might want to look at sloted or drilled and slotted rotors. look better and tend to not warp like reg rotors.

Just use a regular thick hammer on them, smack it between the lug studs. Soak with a bit of WD-40. You won't get anywhere with a rubber mallet when it comes to thick metal pieces...
