I am doing front brakes on a 2004 hyundai santafe and can’t get the rotors off. Any tricks I should try?
Smack them with a heavy dead-blow hammer.

there is usually a ‘keeper’ to hold the rotor on (although i don’t know specifically about your model car). it is usually a phillips screw, or a toothed washer on a stud. once you remove the keeper, a good whack with something heavy does the trick. i usually use a piece of a 4X4 i have hanging around the garage so there is no chance of ruining the rotor.
just go buy new rotors and pads. dont try to resurface the old rotors. they’re toast. buy new. your life is worth it.
