Removing hub from rotors....
Not sure how to seperate the two. Ive taken the two screws off but the hub is seemingly stuck to the rotor. Ive also tried hammering the rotor off, didnt work. Any ideas?

Spray liberally with PB Blaster ot Kroil, Take 2 8mm x 1.25 bolts and put them in the holes the screws came out of. Tighten those 2 bolts down and it will pop the rotot off

I had mine milled off. It was really stuck! I tried a 20 ton shop press and that didn't work either. If you run out of option go to a brake shop and have them "remove" it. It didn't cost me much. I was replacing mine anyways so....Its one more option in case nothing works.

This sucks, they're really on there I tried your method crackheadmel but used a piece of wood between the hammer and hub and it wouldnt work. I need to find those bolts and try the other way mentioned by banzai. Any other suggestions?

Another trick is to hit the flat spot of the rotor all around and between the studs. This is naturally where the rotor is fused to the hub surface. Works everytime. Just be careful not to strike the ends of the studs. You could place the lug nuts on the studs to avoid striking the threads, but it does cut down on the available area.
