Dennis,
You are correct. The #5 allen head needs to be removed as well as the the 'guide' at the bottom front side of the rotor.
The center nut need not be touched. Spray some WD-40 around the hub first to assist with easy removal. No hammers necessary.
To remove the #5, set the parking brake, loosen both #5's then release the parking brake.
You will need to rotate the wheel until you see the parking brake adjustment post 'wheel' through one of the lug bolt holes. Otherwise, you'll play hell getting the rear rotors off. Been there, done that. It is a good time to inspect (or replace) the parking brake drum hardware. The material from the shoes literally fell out upon removal of my rear rotors.
Just remember to readjust the parking brake post wheels after the rotor has been reinstalled. Simply rotate it with a long handled but small standard screwdriver until you barely hear the shoes begin to rub the drums as you spin the axle manually.
Bought my rear rotors (OE size made by Brembo), pads, and parking brake replacement hardware from Fastlane, VERY quick turnaround and competatively priced.
