So it is not necessary to remove the spindle nut to get the brake disk off? I see the spindle nut is still present and the brake disk is off. I have a 2002 C5 Corvette I want to replace the brake disk. Any information would help. I don't know if I have to buy a 33 mm socket to remove the spindle nut. The internet is telling me to use a 36 mm. I have a 36 mm and it looks too large. I got my calipers to measure the nut from the flat surface to flat surface and got 33 mm.

No, you just hit the rotor with a rubber mallet until it comes off. I suppose you have figured that out but info for the next person
