Ya got to get it loose before you can do anything with it.

So spray the 7734 out of it with WD40, or any other skunk piss you can come up with.   Keep tapping on it lightly so as not to screw something up, I use a old piece of 2X4 for this purpose.  If you are patient, it will come loose......  Then when ya put it back together, use anti seize junk........

Had the same problem a while back, used an impact driver (use a gently touch).  One hit, it let go and the repair was completed.

     Had that on my 98 couple years back,I finnally got it  off,  but somehow managed to  warp the rotor.  If   yours is as stuburn as  mine  and  i could  do it again , think  id take  wheel off before any serious  banging.
