Auto vs Manual Xd front rotors

[covill]

I have both, 2009 Xd's, in my family and did the brake job on the Auto with no issues. The manual on the other hand is a different story. It seems the brake rotor is held captive by the CV axle nut. Am I missing something? Why would there be that much of a difference between the two. My initial thought was they were the same but I do not see the split for the hub and disc rotor as I do the automatic. Or is the tolerances of the machined parts that much better that it appears to be no gap.

I wanted know before I pulled out the jackscrews and mess up the threads on the rotor.

I was able to download the maintenance manual and the rotor isn't part of the hub or CV axle. I will use the jackscrews to pull it off this coming weekend. I didn't think it was but the surface didn't show a split.
