I drive a '99 2500 4x4. Today I dedcided to replace my front break pads, and in the process discovered that my rotors should be replaced as well. I bought the parts, and set to work. Pulled the tire off, got the breaks off fine. I removed the axle nut and all 4 knuckle bolts, and the rotor wouldnt come off. I tried spraying it with lube and tapping it with a hammer. It still wont come off. Any suggestions would be great.

I've never gotten one off without having to crack it a few times without a ball peen hammer. When you think about it, the entire weight of the front end of the vehicle leans on these things, they're built for more abuse than you could probably throw at em with a hammer.
Don't be afraid to hit it on the top or sides as well. Sometimes where you hit it is more important than how hard.
