Brake Rotors

I was recently replacing the rear pads on my 2001 V70 XC. I intended to replace the rotors as well, since you cannot reface Volvo rotors. However, I was completely unable to remove the rotors. After unbolting and hanging the caliper aside, I tried tapping, thumping, pulling, swearing, WD40,heat, all to no avail. is there some esoteric system for the removal of the rotor? Is there some type of special puller tool which is available for this situation?

Sounds like your E brake is on

How could the emergency brake be on with my calipers and pads removed? Is this like my dad's old '52 Chrysler which had the emergency brake as a drum on the end of the transmission?

This is for an 850, but it may be the same --> http://members.shaw.ca/heeeeee/strut/1.htm

If I remember correctly when I did my rotors, that strange long bolt needed unthreading to get the rotor off.
