You'll have to pull the rotor (and caliper, to get it out of the way), to be sure. And you may need a rubber mallet to persuade the rotor off. You can back off the parking brake shoes to make rotor removal a little easier if you can line up the star adjuster wheel through one of the lug bolt holes in the rotor hat.
Rather than try to describe the procedure, here's a page from the repair manual:
