install of rear rotors

Just received new rear rotors today and want to know how to take off the factory rear rotor, it seems like it's attached to the rear axle or wheel bearing of some sort. I’ve tried hitting with a rubber mallet but nothing.

45 ft*lbs for the caliper mounting bolts
130 ft*lbs for the axle end nut


Anything else?

What's the solution, i've been starring at this damn rotor for the last hour trying to figure out how to get it off

Found the answer in a different thread. You take the bolt from the radiator support (i believe 11mm or 12mm) and thread the bolt through the two holes in the rotors evenly. And make sure the e-brake is off.
