I'm trying to remove the rear brake disc on a 2004 volvo s60. I have
everything clearer away (removed the caliper, caliper bracket and disc
retaining nut)

I was able to beat the crap out of it to break it loose, it was pretty
rusty.

It now moves freely. I can turn it and turn the hub. When I try to pull
it, i can't work it off. it seems like a spring is holding it in. I
know there isn't one.....and yes my parking brake is off and not
seized.

Any clues? I suspect the e-bake shoes are keeping it from being worked
loose. How do i get them to retract? is it something else?

There could be a ridge of rust and crud on the hub holding it back;
you may be able to clean that off with a wire wheel in a drill.

Alternatively, rent a wheel puller from somewhere and use it to pull
it off.
