Default 05 ram 1500 rear rotors

Hello let me just start out by saying I am new to the forum and would like to thank you for any help I get. I am trying to replace the rear brake pads and rotors on my truck but I'm having some serious trouble removing the rotors. I already removed the calipers safely and I'm pretty sure the rotors should just slide right off but for some reason they wont budge. Any tips you have on getting these off would be great,
Thanks

yea you need two good bolts, four washers, and four nuts. using the mounts for your caliper, put a washer on each bolt, run each bolt through a separate mounting hole, then another washer, then both bolts. Thread one bolt to the mount, other to the rotor

Start tightening the bolt, work one then the other then back (distribute pressure)

Works great

EDIT: weeds link has a video
