Chris;
You can take the rotor off by removing the 4 star headed bolts holding the rotor to the hub, then pound away

The bolts are the 12 pt. or triple square similar to the head bolts except that you need a 10 mm bit. The easiest way I've found to hold the hub is to insert it into a wheel on the floor and this gives you enough leverage to hold the hub so that you can unscrew the bolts.

HTH,
Harold
