Default how to remove front brake discs???

Finishing up on my clutch replacement, want to do the brakes at the same time. I have new rotors, but how do you get the old ones off? My Haynes manual says to remove the 4 bolts on the back of the hub to release the disc from knuckle. I did this, but it's not moving.

Please help if you can. I would like to get this huge project done and over with.

What year model do you have? I think 94 up makes require you pull out the wheel bearing first.

You will need to drive the bearing out of the knuckle. Be careful not to damage the bearing. Although due to the age of vehicle ,condition of bearing and the potential damage to bearing upon removal , new wheel bearings may be required.

new wheel bearings may be required.
and are recommended anyway if you're tearing apart the front anyway.
