[Shotimes] Rotor rusted to hub

[Chris Riedl]

    Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.  Two soaks with PB Blaster and 
about 15 minutes with the BFH later (after pounding with other hammers 
before) and the thing finally jumped right off and fell to the floor.  It 
turns out that the bearing is fine, but the lack of a halfshaft torqued down 
properly made it seem wobbly.  It did not move after the new halfshaft was 
also installed.  I'm just about to go take it out and set the brakes and see 
how they do!
