Default Need help with rear Disk Brake removal

Hello, I am a new member, and I need some help removing the rear disk brakes...

I am doing this project right now, and I have so far:

taken off the caliper,
taken off the 2 brass like screws that are on the front of the disk
Taken off the main hub bolt because it looks like it holds the disk in place...

what else do I need to remove to get the disk off? I can't seem to get it off, rubber mallet, and all....

any help out there?

thanks
Raj.

Release the parking brake and spray some WD 40 on the part where the hub and the rotor meet. Then, Bat as hard as you can with the rubber mallet on the back side of the rotor in a star pattern. It will come off.
