2002 Taurus rotors

Hi all,I was in the process of taking the rotors off my wifes 2002 Taurus.The wheel shimmy is back when you brake.They need turned.There is a large nut in the center of the rotor.1 1/8" nut does this have left or right threads?Does it serve any other pupose other than holding on the rotor?I have never seen this before.You usually take off the caliper and the rotor slides off.Thanks for any help.

That nut doesn't hold the rotor on, just the halfshaft. Buy new rotors (probably cheaper than turning the old ones) and get a big hammer.
