Re: Brakes ?
Hit the face of the rotor with a hammer. Be carefull not to hit the studs!

Re: Brakes ?
I have a 95 4cyl. so maybe this won't be the same on your 92 but it's worth checking.  When I replaced my front rotors, getting the old ones off was made easy by by inserting and tightening a metric threaded bolt thru each rotor into a small threaded hole found on the rotor located between a couple of wheel studs.  I don't remember the thread size but the threaded hole is maybe 6-7mm diameter.  As you turn/tighten this bolt (I had one laying around that fit), the bolt end protrudes thru the rotor and "pushes" it off.  I'd be surprised if you didn't have this hole on your rotors.  It's been there on every Mazda and Toyota rotor I've replaced and that's what it's there for... my .02...
