How does the rear rotor come off so I can change it?

Remove lug nuts
Remove wheel
Remove caliper from rotor
then just slide the rotor out, if rotor is suck, and you don't care for the rotor (meaning not going to resurface, just replace) take a hammer and bang it from the backside of the rotor, that should do the job.

this will work on a 95 base model?

No extra little problems to worry about?

Yup
That should be it. Ohh, you don't have to take the whole caliper off, just losen one bolt and slide it off the rotor.

So no disconnecting any brake lines?

Nope, don't need to disconnect any brake lines.  Don't let the calipers hang by the brake lines though.  That's bad for the lines.
