Is there some special tool or trick to getting the front rotors off of this vehicle. I have removed to plastic hub, metal retaining ring and plastic snap ring. The rotor still won't come off. Is there something else that needs to be unscrewed/unbolted? I understand that some tapping may be needed to unstick the rotor, but this is not working either. Thank you.

Sometimes it is more than tapping. Whacking might be a better term. I have one. Same year. Sometimes it takes a stronger effort than you would expect. It's a slip on rotor. Hub doesn't need to come off. Whack it from behind spin a 1/4 turn and whack it again. Keep this up til she pops.
