I drilled four holes in my workbench to match the lug bolt patternced the
hub with the lug bolts downwards, which left the rotor flat and horizontal.
There are four bolts which hold the rotor to the backside of the hub.
Because the work bench prevents the hub/rotor from turning, I was able to
remove and re-install a new rotor to the \hub.

John,
You may already have received an answer to your question, but in case
you haven't:
The rotor and the hub are cast in one piece on the Spitfire. You won't
be able to separate them. Unlike many of the newer cars.
