I'm in the middle of doing an s13 brake conversion onto my 1200 disk struts.. I've got the hubs off and the rotor mounting bolts out but the rotors are still stuck on real good. I'm hesitant to start beating it with a mallet. So I thought I'd ask if I've missed something first.

Cheers for the help!

They are an interference fit on the hub. You need to press the discs off with a press. Any brake shop or general workshop should be able to do it for you, or maybe the maintainance guys at work, or the old guy up the street. Don't resort to this

If it's all apart as you say then get 2 house bricks and place them on concrete end up. Place the disc/hub between the bricks wheel face down with the rotor face on the bricks. Using a hammer strike the inner wheel bearing seal carrier area lightly moving around its full circumference. This should loosen the joint. A press is certainly not required as the joint is not an interference fit.
