Rotor replacement

Trying to replace the front rotors. Took wheel and caliper off, but could not get the hub off. Hammered and pulled, but feels like something I've missed is holding it on.

Once you have removed the Torque plate, or, caliper mounting bracket, if you can't pull it off, use a ball peen hammer and give the rotor face a few good raps, it's stuck on the rust!
