I'd start (Once you're dead dead certain all the bolts are out) by alternating hammer taps to the 12 and 6 O' Clock positions, should break whatever corrosion is holding on the disc.

Its going to need a good wack all the way around OP.

Put an old jumper or towel underneath for when it falls of so you dont damage it when it hits the ground,

Or are these old? and being replaced? then just wack it wack it

A non mickey mouse Sledgehammer wrapped in a towel worked just fine with one tap.
