I'm stuck at taking the rotor off. I put some WD40 on the studs. do I have to do anything with the handbrake pretensioner? Can I just wack the rotor off with a larger 3lb hammer?

Either a big gear puller or a lot of hard work with a hammer to work it loose.

Only hit with a soft blow hammer. And turn either clockwise or anticlockwise as you pull them off. One of those directions will come off easier.

Assuming you're not re-using the brake disc, it's fine to damage it in pulling it off. Just a warning, there'll be a loud sound as you pull it off, using this method (I've done it a few times haha).
