THe front rotors on my silverado 1500 are rusted onto the hubs. I've tried penetrating oil and a big sledge hammer. thinking my only option might be to pull the hubs with the rotors attached and press them off with a shop press.

have you tryed heating it witha torch and tapping on it to get it off? usually works.

may be best to take it off if your beeting it with a sledge hammer, as the bearings will probably score up the races and need replacing.
