it all depends how long they have been on there, but they can seize on the hub you'll have to hit it with a mallit working around the disc and it will eventually come off,
You have removed the retaining screw i assume.

As said after screw is out, hit the CENTRE of the disc, as I have found this to be a LOT more effective than clouting around the outside, they don't get very tight on sierra's compared with say a mondeo.
On some cars I have even had to saw through the disc splitting it in two, as this releives a lot of tension making it a lot easier, good luck.
I always use copper grease between hub disc to prevent a repeat performance, after thoroughly cleaning the hub face.

i will be honest i don't know nothing about a retaining screw can someone tell me where it is!
any pictures!
it doesn't say anything about a retaining screw in the manual.
just to confirm, it is a 1987 sierra rs cosworth 3 door.
many thanks
