I tried kicking, crowbars, torch, and finally resorted to the rubber maul. 
It took a good smack to finally get that rotor off.

I just hope there is no problems on the rack and pinion side of things.  I
don't think there is.  I am going to have to have someone turn the wheel
with the truck on while I take a peek at the high pressure side of the
power steering.  I expect it to be spraying all over the place.  I can even
smell it at times getting burned on the engine.  

Need to wait for a warm weekend.  Getting cold up here now and doing this
in the garage would make for a big mess.
