MasterThis is the Hub for single rear wheels http://www.napaonline.com/Search/MultiImagePopup.aspx?Ima... and this is the Hub for Dual rear wheels http://www.napaonline.com/Search/MultiImagePopup.aspx?Ima... Doesn't look like the rotor separates from the Hub assembly

mikes auto repair (see my shops), December 21, 2010, 14:12ReplyEnthusiastUse a bigger hammer :) an 8lb sledge with about 3-4 feet handle and wack away. If you have access to an pneumatic air hammer i suggest using the ball tip in between the studs and then use a hammer.
