Default 79 k5 brake problem

one of my front hubs (drive flange) blew apart on me the other day, I found the parts on the side of the road and noticed that it dosen't look like the wheel bearings or anything in the hub has been serviced in probably at least 10 years, so i got the spindle nuts out pulled the caliper but seems the wheel bearing is pretty much frozen to the spindle, any hints on how to get the rotor off now would be much appreciated.

dead blow hammer and a pry bar. the bearing cones get stuck to the spindle if they haven't been off for a while. the inner bearing and seal will most likely still be on the spindle when the hub and rotor come off, just have to pry them off.
