consider yourself lucky that your garage was warm enough to work in without gor-tex mittens and three layers of windbreakers (NJ=6 deg) Bill K
That's the handbrake caliper, and yes, you need to split it in order to get the rotor off. Normally, a pretty straightforward job, except for when the cap screw rounds off. I found that these bolts seemed unusually soft - this one was very easy to cut through.
