[Shotimes] Rotor rusted to hub

[Rick Glass]

Mine had those funky little flanged metal things that helped to keep the 
rotor from coming off, once I twisted them off with pliers a few serious 
smacks with a BFH did the trick.

Hit it from the front, just be careful and don't hit the lug studs....those 
are a real b!*&h to change.
