Have you removed the caliper?

If you've already removed the two screws that go through the rotor, theres nothing else holding it on, its likely just rusted to the hub. Try smacking it with a rubber mallet, or kick it with your shoed foot.

There should be anther spot where there were no screws but is threaded. But two screws in there and that should push it off the whatsamacall it.

Thats how it is on my sol. Good luck

If the two X screws and caliper are off then just bang it in the middle a few times and it should pop right off.

One of my buddys has a z3 and he couldnt get his off one time he called up a mechanic and he said sometimes water and crap might leak into it and cause it to rust and bond and they might as well be welded together. He advised him to secure his car super well (if in doubt dont do it) and lay under it and kick it as hard as he could. It took him about 5 min of kicking to get it off but it worked and no damage. This is probably not by the book but it works

you can kick it or use a rubber mallet but if those dont work you can use a steel hammer on the center part of the rotor, the part that the pads dont ride on. this will break it loose. this happens all the time in lovely ny.
