The question is simple, how do you get it off?  There is a noise coming from the brake and I need to inspect it.

tap and rotate it.  If that doesn't get it, use a rubber mallet on the studs for a second in the middle.   

Tapping and rotating has almost always worked for me unless your handbrake is still on or your shoes are stuffed.

You forgot to them them to take the four bolts in the center off.Mine was a SOB to get off....Had to beat it with a hammer to get it off....

I all ways leave the wheel on and take the four nuts off at the axle that way if it is a PITA
 to get off I just hit the inside of the tyre a few times in different spots to loosen it up.
