yes...it should slide off just like the front. Try tapping it with a rubber mallet on the inside and around the edges. You can also try spraying some wd40 around the rusted areas and see if it helps any. Just remember to clean everything with brake fluid though.

First make sure the parking brake is off, yeah i felt real smart when i realized that was still on. Second bang the heck out of it with a rubber mallet, or better yet if your replacing them go nuts with a really big heavy metal one. Just tap/hit the rotor and keep rotating it, hit, turn, hit, turn, and so on. It can take quite a while to get off.

I haven't touched the rear brakes on my ta, but sometimes there is a small hole with threads in it on the rotor that you can screw (the correct size) a bolt into that helps you get it off because it helps release it if rusted on. Good Luck!

If the brake isn't set, tap on the back of the rotor with a rubber mallet. It may just be rusted on. Worst case spray wd40 into where the wheel studs come through the rotor. Just make sure to use plenty of brake parts cleaner to get all of the wd40 off so you don't contaminate the new pads.
