Many people have talked about the need to take a hammer to their old rotors to get them off after removing the retaining screw. There is a better way to do it that doesn't put those kinds of shock loads through the wheel bearings and is much more controlled. Insert a pry bar or heel bar into the rotor cooling slots or between the back side of the rotor and the steering knuckle and apply pressure to push the rotor off. Keep rotating the rotor and repeat. Pretty soon, it will break free and come right off. I learned the trick from a friend of mine who was an aircraft mechanic. They are taught that a hammer is a 'last resort' tool for the very fact that it is hard to control the application of force.
