If you unscrewed it, it should come off. Pull as hard as you can and it should come off. I changed my rotor once and I had to pry it off with a screwdriver and pliers. Keep trying.

when I was replacing my rotors I had to give a good smack with a hammer. A very very very very small amount of rust had managed to practically unite the hubs and rotors. (I think 1/4 came off without the hammer, which I just used my fist to hit it with). I know it sounds kinda archaic, but hey, they were warped beyond your wildest dreams and I was just careful not to damage anything else it was connected to or near.

I broke mine getting it off because I didn't know there was a screw through the side of it holding it on. I noticed it after I broke the old one and after I got the screw out (which was kind of a pain) the rest of the rotor came off fine.
