Did you remove the keep on the lug post? Mine had it there from the factory. There isnt anything holding the rotor on. You shouldnt have to use a puller for anything on the breaks.

If you dont see it on the outside of the rotor then its not there. The rotor is just stuck to the hub. Hit it with a hammer by the lug post all the way around and it should break free. Its just rusted on.

There are tiny little SOB C Clips on 1 or more of your wheel studs and there is a small screw that keeps the rotor to the Hub then get a good sized dead blow mallet and go to town cause she is probably rusted on there

when you reassemble everything, do a couple of things:
1 - use a can of black spray paint to paint the hubs and on the rotors (front and rear) and let dry ... this will help prevent rust on the hub and rotors, as well as look nicer. I don't worry about any over spray on the rotor (I purposely paint into the breaking surface) as it will clean off on the first drive
2 - put anti-seize on all the studs ... this will prevent rust on the studs as well as help with torquing, prevent galling the threads, and helps lessen the chance of broken studs
