I've had that trouble with rotors from the Volvo dealership. I now get my Bosch rotors from indy suppliers, no more problems. Go figure.
Avoid broken plastic down into the distributor, and avoid whacking hard with a hammer, again to avoid damage to the distributor. I think there's a Hall sensor in there, along with whatever else.
When I had a stuck dizzy rotor, I pried up with a big flat blade screwdriver until the plastic cylinder split apart. I was ready for it to slide up, but it split first. It's hard to get something for the lever to bear against, but I suppose if you insist on a decent fulcrum, you could plant a piece of 2x4 someplace.
You could also use a drill at the top and insert WD-40 or PB Blaster, but anything inserted will end up in the dizzy. So I didn't do that.
Somebody wrote to put a heavy block on one side and hit with hammer from the other side. I don't feel good about that. Guaranteed, there'd be a pretty good impact to the dizzy.
