Default how do you remove rotors

I have a 1998 dodge ram 1500 2wd. I am having trouble removing the front rotors, they do not budge. I have 87k on the truck and original rotors that need to be replaced. Are there any tricks?

If the spindle is rusty, spray it with penetrating oil. Help them off with a "chevy" wrench. [sm=smiley1.gif]

some of the 1500s had presed on rotors. they were a style such that the hub was actually placed over the rotor, then is had seperate bolts that held that rotor, as opposed to the wheel studs, and the rim holding them in place.
