damn rotrs won't come off

Hi all. I am in the process of changing the rotors. I cannot get even one of them off. I have the pads and calipers already removed. Also the part that holds in place the brake pads is off. I have pulled, hammered and kicked them. They will not come off. Any suggestions?
thanks

Notice that around the studs there are 2 small holes. Try to get 10mm bolts (I think it's 10mm) and tighten them in. That should loosen the rotors out. Try not to hammer them too hard otherwise you might damage something. Good luck.
