S4 five lug conversion question

What on the rear needs to be replaced to convert to 5-bolt. I already bought the parts, but the guy just cut everything off with a torch. I need to know exactly what needs to be swapped for the rear. Also does anyone know of a good way to get the rotors of the hubs (big hammer did not work). I am getting new ones and the old ones wont come off. One more question. Would it be easier to get just the whole rearend (LSD, Halfshafts, hubs, rotors). I eventually want to go with a LSD. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Do the whole subframe, it's so much easier. Just make sure the new subframe has an LSD and you're all set.

Take one of the screws that holds the rotors on and thread it into one of the other holes to pop it off.

I did the convertion and all I swaped was the half shafts, hubs, breaks, and rotors. It works great and only took like 2 hours.

I did it to my brothers car and i swapped hubs rotors calipers and brake lines. That was it. I would suggest using like wd40 or some way to loosen up the bolts the nite before you work on the cars. It will save your knuckles a couple layers of skin. This is a cool mod to do on your car my brother was extatic about his ! Have fun!
