Hit them with a rubber mallet or plastic dead blow hammer in a circular patern around the face. You might need to back off the parking brake adjusment knob also, just remove the rubber plug and rotate to the 12 oclock position then use a standard screwdriver to back off the adjustment wheel. I assume you removed the caliper

Make sure your ebrake isnt up. I know it sounds stupid lol but I have done it before.

Other than that smack the hell out of it with a rubber mallet!
