Don't you hate it when this happens?
Ah - the rusted-on rotor saga.
PB Blaster, BFH and a torch later, I'm still dealing with this.
The rotor is so rusted on, it cracked/split before coming off:
Anyhow, I swapped out the hub to get the car back on its wheels, but now I have an ABS Inop idiot light.
I'm hoping to get the original hub free of the rotor and swap back.
Any other ideas?

Holly ****! Did that split before you started beatting on it?
I have never run across one that I could not get off. Usualy some good solid whacks between the studs would break it and at times a slide hammer behind the disc. But you no longer have the disc on there.

"Were gonna need a bigger hammer"! Or was that "boat"?
I've had a very stubborn one before, but not quite that bad. I had to use a Gorilla bar between the rotor and spindle, and heat, and a big hammerfer.
