your next challenge might be removing rusted-on rotors. My suggestion: one (or two) of the largest bolts that slip through the caliper mounting lug holes on the steering knuckle, with nuts to match. Slip the bolts through and tighten them against the nuts on the opposite side to press off the rotor without banging or torching. You want to soak with penetrating oil? Fine, do it overnight before, it's bound to help. Push a bit, back off, rotate the hub a half turn, push a bit, repeat.
Another way is to score the old rotor with a grinding wheel and whack it with a hammer so it cracks.
Use anti-seize on the hub when you install the new one and it will slip off easily next time.
