That's what I thought, but it's all one piece .... I need a 20-25mm socket and some leverage to move that nut ...

The center nut is an axle nut. It holds the axle to the hub you do not need to take it loose as alltak said. Take out the torx screw like 2000LS said, then use a softface hammer (Just in case you miss and hit a wheel stud, less chance of damage) and hit it a few times between the wheel studs that should free it up. Rust and road grime build up between the rotor and the wheel brearing making it look like it might be one piece and holding it together. A few good well placed raps with a hammer will do what you need it to do. The torx screw does not need to go back on unless you want to, it is put there to hold the rotor in place on the assembly line till the wheels go on.
When you put the wheels on it is extremely important to cross torque them to 100 lb-ft with a quality torque wrench. Improper installation on wheel/tires are a huge reason for a lot of rotor warpage front and rear.
