I see no pic. If you have the screws (2) out and the caliper out of the way, then the only thing that can be keeping it of is corrosion between the hub and the rotor. Make sure the vehicle is supported well and take a hammer (rubber mallet is best) and start tapping the surface that the brake pad clamps on, working your way around the rotor, basically keep tapping all around until it comes off. Good luck -
Yeah sorry the pic must not have uploaded, so now its a matter of force?Comment

A few good smacks and a little PB should loosen it right up, unless its unusually rusted in place!~Nate

I've teased the rotor in a circle around the hub with heat, pops loose.
