Take the caliper and caliper mounting bracket off, get a hammer and hit back side of rotor, to knock it loose and it will come right off. Your replacing them anyway so don't worry about messing them up.

What climate are you in? That's some major rusting for that to occur.

Reassemble with anti-seize compound between the hub and rotor.
