I've had some reluctant ones but usually a few well placed whacks with a rubber mallet from the back as you turn the disc bit by bit works ... had to do this on the 206CC recently that probably hadn't seen new rear brakes since it was built in 2001!!! Fronts stuck a bit but no way were they as hard to get off.
When you get them off, a good clean up with a wirebrush in an electric drill and a good coating of copperslip/copper grease before the new discs go back on.
Also had you tried a proper penetrating fluid??? .. not WD40, that's a lubricant ... but something like Plusgas. Getting it between the back of the disc and the hub face is the problem though.
Are you sure you've got both small disc mounting screws out?

Thanks to all you guys but the Grinder method did it in a feww minutes and then a few blows with the hammer and they were off.
Next time I wouldn't even bother with heat?lubricant/freeze spray etc...Grinder every time!!!!!
