If it is the E-brake the rotor will move around, but not come off. If the rotor is stuck on the axle it wont wiggle at all. Try turning the axle while pulling out on the rotor if it is the brake holding it. If it wont budge off the axle, try tapping the face of the rotor between the wheel studs to jar it loose, or if that doesn twork you can tap it from behind with a hammer. If it still wont come off you may have to get a little rough with it to pop the brake shoe off its clip and allow the rotor to come off.
