    Yes release the handbrake, give it a few taps with a rubber mallet.

    tried all that :( it really seems like the handbrake is grabbing , rotor comes about a third the length of the wheel studs and just jambs , even trying to prise it off isn,t working ,

    got it off , and yeah calliper mount was off , the handbrake pads had come off the top retaining clip , so had partially come out with the rotor ,, causing the pad to jamb, got big screw driver behind it , prised it back anad the rotor popped straight off , thanks for your help guys :)
