Yes, they do make a hammer puller that attaches to the wheel studs and you can remove it from there.

you still need to remove the nut in the center, then perform the job above.

i've never seen anyone use one of these pullers. it sounds less complicated than pulling the knuckle off and pressing the hub out to get the rotor off. however, if you use this method without first unbolting the hub outer ring from the knuckle, you may end up separating the hub bearing. if that happens you could try to reassemble it but it won't last long so you may as well replace it.

here, this guy used one with success.

if the OP plans on keeping the car for a while and continuing to do his own maintenance check out a rotor-over-hub conversion.
