Exclamation Rear rotor removal on 2003 DRW

OK guys (and gals)....
Can anyone tell me how to remove the rear rotors on a DRW 2003?

I have the shop manual and it really doesn't give much detail. I have the caliper assembly off to install new pads, but I scored a rotor and need to replace them. The manual really does not cover the DRW model (naturally cuz I have one). Is is necessary to remove the axle flange to get the rotor off? or am I missing something more obvious (like a really big hammer or really strong guy)?

Thanks

Yes, you have to remove the axle housing cap off and then pull the rotor hub assembly

UNless you have a REAL BIG vise, you will need an impact as well. Trying to get teh rotor/hub assembly bolts off can become a b**** without an impact.
