Try using the rotor as a slide hammer.

First, put the front wheel bearing nut back on, but leave it loose. This will keep you from going ass over tea kettle when the hub does come loose.

Turn the rotor around and install it backwards using the lug nuts to hold the rotor on. DON'T tighten the lug nuts all the way down, just screw them down at least 5 full turns which should still leave the rotor loose on the studs. Then pull on the rotor with as much force as you can muster, multiple times if necessary. If this doesn't work, then go for the puller.
