Brake rotor Stuck

Hey im in the middle of swapping my rotors/pads, the front passenger does not want to budge though, al bolts are off, its just stuck on there good, hit it with some wd40, tried to use the caliper separator in between the rotor and one of those arms that the calipers bolt to.
Any tips or just keep pulling, tried a few small whacks with the rubber mallet aswell (light taps), the driver side was tough but it budged without too much help (as in came off wit my hands)

Put a 6point wrench on the bolt and use a dead blow hammer to knock it loose.

Which bolt, the two bolts that hold the caliper on are off. The rotor is just stuck on the studs.

Try to pry the caliper back and forth to push the piston back in a bit. Also, the fluid should release back into the master cylinder, but you could crack a bleeder to release it (shouldn't have to do this, though).

I got it, (the caliper was off it was just really stuck, put a wrench ontop of the rotor in those little grooves ( i assume for cooling) and then hit the top of the wrench for leverage, a little rust remover too
