Backside of what? The bolts on the backside of the steering knuckle are for the wheel bearing hub assembly, do you already have the caliper out of the way?

The rotor should come off freely once the caliper is out of the way, however corrosion can cause it to become bonded to the hub. You'll have to give it a good hard whack with a rubber mallet to break it loose (picture #7).
