Brake Question-Need quick answer.

Hey guys, going to do a brake job this afternoon and have a quick question.

2002 with 4 wheel discs-

To remove the rear rotors, do you have to remove the rear axleshafts? Or do you just pull the rotor off the hub?

If it's like mine, more like beat the livin' crap out of em to get them off. I took a three pound hammer and had to whack em pretty hard all the way around to get the RUST broke loose. They will come off without taking the axles apart.
