brake rotor removal

Ok, the axle in my truck is from a 76 f250, it's a dana 44 8 lug. I'm doing the brakes, wheel bearings, ect. I pulled the rotors off and the hubs are still attached to them. So how do the rotors seperate from the hubs, or do they even seperate? I priced new rotors and one set was $110 a piece and the others were $40 a piece. My problem is I don't know the v.i.n. number because the axle is out of a different truck. Do the $110 rotors come with the hub assembly? If not do I press the hub and rotor apart and reuse the hub? Thanks for any replies

Knock the 8 lug nuts out and the rotor will seperate from the hub.

That's what I thought, thanks! I figured I better ask before I get out the b.f.h. (big f###k##g hammer) and start pounding.

It never hurts to ask, on 2wd's the rotor/hub assembly is one piece.
