Default 99 Disco II Rear rotors won't come off

Okay, so the prob is exactly what you read in the subject line. I'm replacing front and rear rotors (EBC kit). Fronts weren't a problem at all. Rears are a bitch! I'm prying, wailing on the back side with a deadblow hammer (rotating, star-pattern when I do this). Won't budge.

Is it safe to use anything like PB blastoff? I wouldn't think that's an issue spraying on the front-side, but the back-side of the rotors I'm not so sure.

Any tips, tricks or advice would be appreciated.

-C.

Have a cutting torch, or maybe a propane torch? Use it to heat it up and hit it with a hammer like your already doing.

Got the one side off. Working on the other. Just needed a little patience and a little more muscle.

Doesn't seem necessary at this point, but any comments on PB Blastoff? Asking out of curiosity at this point.

might be good to spray the backs of the new ones before you stick them on...lest this happen again.
