[SOLVED] Cant get disc rotor off.
EDIT:
I was able to remove the rotor by spraying WD40 between the rotor and hub assembly, putting my lug nuts on the exposed threads to protect them, and hitting the flat metal part between the lug nuts with a rubber mallet as hard as I could, and when saw it giving.. removed the lug nuts and pushed/pulled until it became free. Rotor is damage free.
=============
I'm trying to remove a front hub assembly, there is no hub nut present, and I cannot get the disc rotor off after removing my brake caliper. I can't see where else it would be connected to, and I'd like to keep from damaging it.
