Well - if you've tried levering it, PB Blasting it, heating it and hitting it, as a last resort you might try breaking it up. I'd be inclined to try with a small angle grinder to cut down the disc (where the caliper's missing) in line to the centre with one of the wheel stud holes.

Then score a groove into the surface of the drum part along the same line (don't go right through as the hub is under it). If this process was then repeated in line with the next wheel stud, I don't think it would take much to snap out the 'cheese wedge' - driving a cold chisel in the cut should do it.

I've never had to resort to this so far, so I can't talk from experience.

Remember if you do try this it's a casting and can shatter unpredictably (which actually helps you in this instance) - but do use appropriate safety equipment to protect eyes, hands, legs and anyone nearby from flying fragments and sharp edges.
