I had to use a heavy hammer to remove my rotors; the rotors did not
budge with a rubber mallet. The rotors were rusted on the inside and
stuck to the bearing assembly. As someone has mentioned, when
installing a new rotor, put some anti-sieze on the inside where it
comes in contact with the bearing assembly. I did not do that; I saw
the post later :(

If you have aluminum rims, you also need anti-seize on the outside of
the mating surface. The aluminum and steel can weld together from
electrolysis.
I have seen more than a few Jeeps rims destroyed this way.

I would not go back with Jeep's composite rotors. They almost always warp.
