i'm working on the same thing, i can't seem to get that ring off, i am afraid to bang on it or pry..
it, any suggestions?, there's also something that looks like a bearing on the inside near that ABS ring that moves around, that thing refuses to come out as well.

Justed finished the job. I put a screwdrive thru the lug bolt hole so it was close to the hub...
and gently tapped, then move to the opposite lug hole and tapped again. After going around several times, it finally pushed-out.

beside that there was another silver ring inside the hole where the bearing goes, i noticed there ..
<center><img src="http://img128.echo.cx/img128/829/getimage7nk.gif"></center><p>is another ring in there about 1/5th an inch thick, it moves around, but i can't get that out either. does that come out or is that part of the rotor? it's not in the picture that the bently manual showed me. i know figure 4 is the abs ring, and 6 is the bearing itself, that other movable ring is between the 2. looks like it would come out from the rear of the rotor but i could not get it to budge, is that supposed to come out?
Thx

If I understand your text correctly... that is the Outer-Race for the Inner Bearing...
Both the Inner and Outer Bearings have their respective Outer-Race pressed into the new Rotor.
I wouldn't reuse the bearings because of this.
ECS sells the Rotor, Bearings and offers a Bearing Press service.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?make=Audi&engine=1.8T&mod el=B5%20A4&submodel=FWD&category=Braking"> ECS Bearing Press Service, scroll down about 1/5 of the way</a></li></ul>

Does it make sense : the same lugnuts that fit in the rear and put in the front lock up brake rotors
