Next it was time to separate the hub from the rotors. They will not necessarily just come off, even though they are "supposed" to. They are held in by the studs. I removed the studs by first threading one of the lug nuts flush with the top of the stud, and then I "tapped" them out with a 4 lb sledge. They come off pretty easily. The night before you might want to soak them with some PB Blaster like this...

I lightly tapped them loose with a flat blade punch. Disregard the bare toes.
