Rear Rotor Removal
I'm looking at the rotors on a 2002 dually. The rotor is buried deep behind a huge, honkin' piece of axle looking thing. When it gets light in the morning; what kind of hell am I looking at to get the rotor off. It's shot on the inside. Got to replace it. I can't tell from looking - although it is dark- but it looks like the part for the second wheel is part of the rotor!
Thanks for the help. I hate this truck. Fortunately it's my wife's and I don't have to drive it very often. My F-150 is perfect.

The inner wheel just comes off just like the outer. The rear rotor also has an inner drum for the e-bake. If the rotor is tough to get off you may have the back off the e-brale shoes using the star wheel adjuster . Look on the inside of the backing plate and you wll see an oval shaped rubber plug at the bottom. Pull the plug out for access to the adjuster. I forget which way to turn it to loosen the shoes.

Also, make sure when removing the rear rotor you don't have the e-brake engauged.

Thanks for the answers. The job was easy. As Miller_feed said, the axle has to come out. Unbolt it and just pull it out. After that the hub and rotor assembly can easily be removed, but requires a special tool. The hub can then be removed from the rotor. The only problem I had was getting the bolts torqued. There was nothing to hold the rotor and hub assembly while I torqued the bolts, except my wife's hands.
I thought I'd write up the procedure with a few pictures and post it here so the next person can read it.
