1994 Rodeo LS 4wd hub/rotor separation

I am having a lot of trouble separating the hubs from the rotors. I have soaked the rotors/ hubs with PB Blaster (petro solvent) at the "fusion" point and have used a crowbar on the benchtop to no avail. It seems that mother nature has gotten one up on me with this one. Any help would be great. If I can't separate the hub where is the best place online to get new ones?

Get a bigger hammer and a block of wood. They'll come apart. Please don't be offended but I have to ask: Did you remove the bolts? :sly:

are you putting new rotors on it? Is so...you might as well do what I did....put the rotor in a vice,and just start beating it hard with a hammer, and keep turning it and gradually they will come apart, I just went through this with my 92. Also try getting a torch, and torching the seam where they meet, then pounding.
