This is a common problem with rust having a ridge in the inside. Most likely going to need to hammer the heck out of it, and probably ruin the rotor, and the e-brake shoe will pop off its retainer.

Penetrating oil and a small propane torch usually works. Get it hot and then turn the torch off and spray it. You will need to do this a few times- making sure not to catch anything on fire- then try convincing it with a hammer. The heat draws the fluid in and helps loosen the rust- so you don't have to beat it too hard to get it off. When you put the next on- use a little stiff grease there to help for the next time- just don't get carried away and grease your brakes
