Can you guys show me how to separate this rotor from hub it's basically one piece it's so rusted on there I'm soaking it in pb blaster and setting it on blocks and hammering it still not coming loose

Flip it over and remove the six bolts that hold the rotor to the hub. If it doesn't separate easily, smack the rotor with a heavy hammer to break it loose. If that doesn't work, you can heat the rotor with a torch to expand it and break the rust bond.

I did remove those bolts , the ones you see are only attached to the hub itself and thanks though

Have you tried a pry bar? If your replacing your rotor i would mar the f*** out of it as long as i got it off

Lay the rotor assembly hub an all on the ground, take a sledge hammer 5 pound be good an whack the rotor all around. I live in Maine rust is a huge issue. My 97 Cheyenne rotors the same way. Or use acetilyne to heat it up.

Remount the hub on the spindle and beat the rotor loose with a sledge hammer. Plan on replacing your bearings if you use this method.

Hammer or a press.

Don't forget to replace the seats... one of those, while I'm here things. Use a drift pin to remove them - I use one made of brass to keep from damaging anything important.
