Default Front Brake Rotor Removal

I'm in the midst of diagnosing front-end wobbles (albeit very slight) and may want to remove the front rotors to have them minimally skimmed. I've replaced two sets of rotors so far in the life of the car and had to hammer off the old ones, since they wouldn't budge. After inspecting, they weren't rusted on and there was no real sign as to why they would not just slip off.

Obviously, I don't want to damage the rotors, at least until I have a verified cause. Is there an easy way to remove the rotors?

Thanks,
Hamish

As long as you greased them before fitting you wont have a problem, if you didn't.... you better look for your hammer again
