Some rotors have a threaded hole in the disc. Usually it is 5/16 thread(I've been told). If you have that, thread a bolt in there and it can push it off as it threads through an pushes against the hub. My 2011 did not have these holes though. I just took a regular hammer and struck the areas between the studs. I did not have to strike the brake surface area at all. I gave it a few goods taps and they slid right off. You may need to sprat penetrating oil by the stud holes and around the rotor center bore, then try hitting where I said. Careful not to hit the studs!
Front rotors usually are the easy ones. If you plan on re-using these rotors, wash them with brake clean if you get any lubricants on the disc.

no holes, but saw a great idea on you tube put a bolt through caliper bracket mounting hole with nut on other side of bracket a run bolt against back of rotor and push right off. Thanks for the reply bowhunter

Throw a bolt through caliper bracket with nuts so that when you tighten it pushes away from truck. My 14' rt front was frozen and took 30 seconds.
