Front brake disc removal help

[restroem]

Removed the bolts holding the front disc to the wheel. It's really on there! What is the next step, I didn't want to force anything, should I remove the rubber gasket or? I did a search but couldn't find anything. thx.

Is the caliper off? If so, just bump the back of the disc with a soft hammer. It should pop right off. Rubber gasket?

What year bike? They made these things for like 15 years you know, and there were changes to things (like the brakes).

I cannot figure out what hard rubber gasket you are speaking of. The hub does extend past the rotor a bit.



How goes the project Resto, is it going to hit the road this year?

On the mag wheels the hub is painted black.




I would hit it with some rust buster then hit around the edge of rotor with a soft rubber mallet til it works loose.

Sorry for the confusion on the gasket, I was referring to the "hub dust cover" I will try gggGary's rust buster and soft rubber mallet. Hopefully I should have it on the road by July.
