Rotor replacement question

I have an EVO VIII and i am trying to replace my rear rotors. Do i have to remove the center nut in order to take them off? Or can i just yank them off after i remove my calipers?

They should come off after you get the caliper off. I haven't changed my rears yet, but I think thats the way the front was...

Remove the caliper (2 bolts) and the rotor comes off.

They might be tight on there after removing the caliper. One of my fronts was frozen on the axle, but nothing a little PB Blaster, a block of wood and a hammer wouldn't fix.
