Now I'm Stuck - As in front rotor assembly

Now I'm stuck - literally. My work cleaning up the front end of my 1969 model 96 continues. One of the front wheel rotor assemblies came off pretty easily. On the other side, the nut was a bugger to get off, but I succeeded. However, now I can't get the rotor assembly off. I used an 8" puller - the type with the flopping arms and the screw in the middle - with no success. In fact, the assembly was so stuck that the screw on the hub puller bent! I've also tried spraying penetrating lubricant and even banged on the bolt plate a few times with a hammer, iron mallet, and rawhide mallet. Nothing has budged it. At Eric's from Vermont's suggestion from a couple of weeks ago, I'm seeking advice before taking a torch to the problem.
I'm in uncharted territory. What trick haven't I tried? Is there a puller available that would bolt onto the bolt plate? None of the loaner pullers from my local auto parts store will fit the 5 bolt pattern.
I'm looking for suggestions and hoping for a good one.
Thanks.
