Default Rear rotor just fits up against the hub...BUT

you may find that it "fuses" to the hub due to high temps. Got to love those poorly vented 1 piece rotors.

You may need to "assist" the rotor to get it off, but it isn't attached to the car (or the suspension). You do need to remove the caliper, and remove the rear carrier, then it just takes elbow grease to get the rotor off.
