I don't think there is a nut holding on the rotors? The calipers come off and then the rotors should pull off without removing the hubs.

No bolts but there may be speednuts over a couple of lugs.
(and of course, if you're pulling the rear rotors, make sure your parking brake is NOT set).

Rotor
The only thing you have to do is remove the Calipar Braket and the rotor flopps right off. Here are a couple of pics of when I powder coated the rotors. The bracket has two bolts on the back side you remove. Then rotor comes off. If it is hard it may be because of the rust on the center point. Just keep working it and it'll come off. Hope this helps.

Yep, you are right about the speed nut. Take a screw driver and knock it off. Then they'll slide off. Sorry, I forgot about those.

Rotors just come off. No nuts holding them on. Just remove the calipers and brackets and they slide off (unless the clip is still in place).

You guys who say there are no "nuts" holding the rotors on are simply WRONG.
I have yet to see a stock Vette that didn't have speed nuts over at least 1 lug.
If they're not there, they have been previously removed.
