the s13 has floating rotors. the rotor is separate from the hub and will come off when the caliper assembly is removed. i don't know what car you were working on, but it wasn't an s13.

i've screwed up changing my brakes enough to know lol.

S13 DOES NOT have floating rotors.

they are not pressed to the hub however, yours are probably rusted on. Hit them with a hammer. I wouldn't bother replacing the hubs for being rusty, instead clean them up with a brown (stripping/surface matching) roll-lock scotch pad on a die grinder.
