A hammer and a punch or drift should work, the Sawzall shouldn't have heated the metals up enough to really weld them together. An air hammer would work perfectly if you have access to one.

turning would be cutting the rotors down a few thousandths to get the rotor true(straight).....

what the deal is on the brke deal is that if you just replace the pads with out replacen the rotors or haven em cut by a shop, witch is not recomended on frt drive cars, the pads them selves will diminish a whole lot faster, and orcasuse even more vibration up front causing more warping and possbl trouble soon with ur calipers also.whhen u do it do pads and rotors even if ya have the rotors cut, you give hem a smooth surface to grip on.and if ya know this dont mind me, its just some advice that anyone can take or leave, i know alot of ya know this already so just for the ones who dont.
