Default Removing the Front Brake Rotors

I was trying to remove my rotors to have them turned because my steering wheel shimmies around 65 miles an hour and I hit my brakes. I removed the caliper, the pads, and the holder for the pads but was surprised when the rotor wouldnt just come off. Do I need to beat it with a hammer to get it to come off? What is the trick to removing the rotors?
Thanks!
Bill

Did you get those rotors off? I did the rear pads on my 03 but I need to do the fronts and I'm trying to find the best price on new rotors, the originals have been turned once and I doubt they will have enough meat to do them again.

it's probably the wheel bearing that is holding it in tight. ur going to need a press to get it out or other old fashion option a slide hammer. mines was a bitch to get off because it corroded and sealed itself to the rotors but mines is a 95.
