some times it is rusted onto the hubs. if you are replacing them, i would just smack it with a hammer.

If you are replacing the rotors, be sure to do an e-brake adjustment before you put the brake calipers back on! (You need to fit the e-brake pads to the bore of new rotors.)

I did the same thing. Smacked my rear rotors off with the e-brake on. Even after taking the thing off, I couldn't figure out what the e-brake shoe was, nor how to get it to fit back on the adjuster piece with the e-brake pulled. So I put the arm down and it slid right now. I had no clue how the e-brake worked internally. So don't feel bad
