Guys - probably a dumb question but my rear rotors do not want to move. Is what looks like the axle hub really a retaining nut? Do I need a special tool to remove it or just a BFH to the rotor? Thanks

Edit: Pretty sure I found the answer. The rotor should just come off and probably requires some hits from the backside.

They were probably seized on the axle shaft, best to hit the dead spots on the front of the rotor if you plan on re-using them. I would also take something to break the build up on the area down to put the new rotor on or put the old one back on.

BTW Willy - thanks for the advice on the rotors. Pass side required a mallet to remove and the driver's side fell off, literally. Brakes all are done now and work great.
