Remove it... it's used in staggered setup to keep you from putting the front wheels on the back (or back on the front..I forget which).

I think it requires a 12mm to undo the bolt and spacer.

that 6th "stud" or screw can also be used for rotor removal.

and you're not an idiot. alot of people, including myself, have had to ask what it's for.
