Disc rotor is bolted to hub from inside. You need to remove the whole hub and disc assembly then unbolt the disc from the hub.

My hub nut also snapped.
Managed to remove the disk with hub, unbolt the hub from disk, but there is no way, to remove the hub.
Hitting, torching, nothing helps.
Any special procedures on this one?

Not sure what you are asking!
Do you want to know how to remove the broken wheel stud?

[denisj]

Yes, I.d like to replace the broken wheel stud.
Already removed the six bolts, holding the hub to the disc, but can't pull them apart.

Hope you didn't heat the hub and disc too much. Spray with WD40, allow to soak. Remove the six small studs. Rest disc on someting solid such as a slab of timber. Place another block on the face where the small studs were and hit with a FBH.

Just heated with heat gun, mere 500 degrees.
I'll try next weekend, since had to put it back together for week communting.

When it fell apart, I was surprised to so see how small is the contact area between hub and disc.
