You're not going to like this, but chances are they are rusted to the hub. Take a big hammer and smack it from the rear. Keep working around the rotor until it breaks loose. NOTE: I recommend placing one lug nut on a stud so the rotor doesn't fly off and hit anyone or anything. The last one I took of would not come off. I hit it until the rotor actually cracked and then the rust left loose.
