That's about right. Sounds like the bearing is stuck to the spindle. A large
gear puller would suffice.
Me, personally, ( I not suggesting this as the "correct" method to all those
who have their flames ready.)
I would put the nut back on just until the threads are flush, then pull real
hard on the rotor with thine hands whilst giving the spindle a hearty thwack
with the leather (or plastic or lead filed rubber but not the metal one,
never the metal one.) mallet.
This usually will free the rotor/hub from the spindle. if not..... get a big
gear puller and carefully work it out.
