Default Rotor won't come off

The front rotors on my '95 Neon won't budge, the car has seen a lot of salt as it has been in Minnesota and Wisconsin all it's life. I didn't see any retainingclipslike I've seen on other cars, the rotor should justslide off the flange and past the wheel studs...hammer didn't work, should I use a three jaw puller or what?

Sounds like some serious rust. Use a puller as beating it with a hammer dosen't do anything good for the wheel bearings. When you put the new rotor on smear the hub with a thin coat of anti-size. I've had rotors stick fast here in Pennsylvania where we have yearly inspections.
