The reason you cannot pull your Front off is because on these they are Bolted on to the Hub.You will see bolts holding your Rotors on.

You need a puller/press or a slide hammer to get rotors (and often drums) off of nearly any vehicle. Even with bolts removed these units are wedged hard into place.

Brake jobs aren't too difficult, but make certain you pick up a Hayne's or Chilton's manual before doing it. Make certain you bleed the lines before driving with new pads and rotors on.
