    ok.. get yourself a torch.... heat the bracket /hub around the bolt... NOT the bolt itself.. try to get it cherry... the hit it with an impact, or put your wrench on it, and get a BFH and wahck on the wrench (poor mans impact)...

    the if the rotor doesnt come off... spray some penetrant on it.. the get a rubber coated BFH and beat on it, rotate, beat on it... etc etc...

    if all else fails, throw it together, come down to my shop, and I can break it loose.. and hopefully NOT BREAK IT!!! ha ah
