I just did this to my brother in law's Expy, what a headache! I have never had a set of rotors stick so bad! I heated the rotor around the hub with the torch, still didn't give, so I heated some more and contined to wail on them, finally the left side rotor cracked and it came off. Well, the right side wasn't going to give at all, so i finally just cut the rotor a bit, such that it would crack, and wailed on it, came right off! Never had to do that before...
Oh, and becareful burning the rotor, don't let the flame go behind it to the topside of the spindle... the ABS sensor gets a little warm....

Rotor Removal
I purchased a 1998 Ford Expedition that sat in the auction yard for a year before I acquired it. Redid alot of front end work and brake work (I do this to any used vehicle I purchase) I tried a 20 lb maul to remove rotors, did not work. I ended up cutting out a large piece of the rotor with a grinder and using a large pry bar to crack the rotor and they both came off!!
