How do you remove brake rotors on a Jeep Liberty?

Rear brakes on 2005 Liberty 2WD - I have an 05 Liberty with 40K on it. Has anyone had any problems getting the rear rotors off? I know the parking brake mechanism is on the inside of the rotor. I'm thinking that is rusted which is causing my issues removing the rotor. What is going on with these brakes? At 40K the rear pads were smoked already and the rotors need turned/replaced?!?! I started getting a nice grind from the passenger rear and I found a nice groove that was starting on the rotor from the pad. Any ideas on how I can get the rotor off?

Did you remove the retaining clips on the lug studs?
If so, then the rotor should slied off, but it may be bound up on the axle hub pilot.

I would think you could just remove the caliper out of the way, then knock the rotor off. Or remove the caliper then the anchor (if equiped) then remove the rotor.
