Glad you found a workshop that didn't charge a fortune for the work. But I must agree with Calaber, its worthwhile now taking the discs off and cleaning the mating surfaces, and while grease will work I'd recommend an anti sieze compound. Had the same issue on my old VP and similar result.

I had same problem on my VS - the trick is to belt them hard with hammer once, then rotate a quarter turn, and repeat about a hundred times until the rotor comes off. I did ruin a hammer this way because I was hitting so hard though - needless to say if you have to remove the rotors this way they will be rooted and need to go in the bin.

First most noticable when even the whole wheel is a prick to get off.
