If that doesn't work, screw a bolt into one of the holes in the disk'd hub and crank down on it (they are there for this reason), you can see the small one here :

Thanks Stevo
and it was, and after I stuck on a stud to that hole, and give it a good crank, it came right off with a BANG! Some corrosion in there I can tell you.
Thanks for the hot tip Mang.
