Hmmm, good idea. While it could have worked, I didn't want to damage my new rotors. FWIW, I'm not sure it would have gotten them off given how stuck they were. Renting the slide hammer was key. For those who don't know what it is, imagine a 5lb weight that slides on a metal bar. On one end is a thread and the other end has a stopper to limit travel. You put the threaded end through the hole in the hub, screw on a big bolt on the back side of the hub, apply traction so the bolt is up against the hub, and then ram the weight into the stopper on the slide hammer. 10 good whacks and it pulled the hub out. Cool tool.
