Could the rotors be seized onto the hub ? I'd hate to beat the SHI* out of these things to get them off...
Any info would be helpful because I'm trying to install the larger SRT6 rotors and calipers on the car... The front rotors were a snap, but I removed the entire hub with the rotor, then seperated them...
HDDP, I got the little 12-point screw out with no problems. After that the rotor should separate from the hub easily. If it doesn't I would WD-40/Liquid Wrench the snot out of it, especially where the hub pokes through the rotor and around the back where the rotor mates with the hub. Let it sit overnight and then give it a bit of gentle persuasion with a BFH.
I have pictures of the bolt in question
here and

FYI, my car is one of the earlier production models, S/N 1088 built in May of 2003.
