You dont need to remove the lock hubs and everything else......

I lied.. Yes you do.

Basically if you had the bearing out of the front.. you need to get to that point, pull the rotor straight off as itll kind of be held by the grease seal with the other bearing inside the back side of the rotor/hub assembly.

The rotor is separate from the hub. You have to punch out the studs once you remove the rotor/hub assembly from the spindle.

No, you are right. The locking hub, wheel bearings, caliper, and hub assembly all need to come off.

then you do what RLA said, to seperate the rotor from the hub
