No, remove caliper. take off the 2 screws holding the rotor in. You may need impact wrench

BEEP: wrong answer, not that kind of set-up, rotor is mounted between the hub and the knuckle and honda recommends turning on the car if within spec and they even want you to turn them after they are installed on the car...not one of their better ideas

I've changed the rotors twice on Honda's hub over rotor setups. Its not that bad really, about an hour per side if you've done it before. The hardest part for me was getting off the axle nut. I don't have the right socket and have to use a hammer and chisel.
