Did you have the parking brake engaged? The parking brake is a drum brake inside the hats of the rear rotors. You have to release the parking brake to get the rear rotors off. Also, it should be a little harder to get them off than the fronts.

yep ebrake is behind the rotor I believe and when the ebrake is on it makes the rotor act like a drum brake system.
