Help Rotor stuck to hub

[AeroSmooth]

Any advice on how to get a rear brake rotor that may be rusted to the hub off. I sucessfully installed new rotors on the other 3 wheels. Here is what I have done so far to remove this rotor:

PB blaster spray in bolt holes, around hub, and at the back.
Wire brush around hub.
Small rubber hammer to the back of the rotor where the caliper usually sits.
Wait, drink breaks, hit it some more with the rubber hammer.

What I thinking at this point:
Buy a huge hammer and knock the rotor from behind. (worried car might fall off jack stands)
Hang my head in shame and put the caliper and tire back on this one to drive it somewhere Monday.
Heat the rotor somehow. (don't have blow torch though)

Thanks, for any suggestions!

You don't really need a huge hammer. I've removed stuck rotors with a regular household hammer before. What you are looking for is a sharp blow to break the rust weld. I'd say keep spraying it down with penetrating oil and use a medium-sized hammer to hit it from behind.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll keep at and try more for a sharp quick blow.

no fear bust the bugger off with the heaviest thing to make solid contact with the rotor.

Just whack the old rotor at the hub area... hit only the rotor hub section only... the rotor will bounce right off it.

Losses the adjuster for the rear parking brake. It might be grabbing the inside of the rotor.

+1 for the brake adjuster if it's dragging.
+100 for the BFH, just smack that #^%&er!
Yiou do have the retaining bolt, right?

Bolt #3 is off, right?

I had the same issue with one wheel when i changed the discs... Turned out the handbrake shoes were stuck against the disc... I had to turn the 'starwheel' adjuster to loosen them off and give the disc a whack with a 2lb lump hammer. That done the trick. Don't be afraid to hit it hard, as long as you have it on a jcak stand and the jack standing by underneath you shouln't have a problem.

*To loosen the starwheel rotate the disc until you can see it through one of the wheel bolt holes... THen use a flat6 head screwdriver to turn it anticlockwise it should loosen off. (However i ended up finding out after a while that for some unknown reason i needed to turn my starwheel clockwise to loosen the shoes!!! Dont know why... Dont want to know.)

makes sure you have the retaining screw off (smalle allen head)
If you cant get it off because it is rounded out, it is possible to drill the head out witha LARGE bit and then use vice grips to remove the remainder once the rotor is off.

Alsop penetrating oil alternated with heat from a prropane torch and a sharp impact froma hammer works wonders in loosening stuck things
Good luck.
