I would do this by:

1) Making a boot floppy in case part two of my suggestion doesn't work

2) rpm -e kernel-2.4.20-8

3) Edit the grub.conf file as you described -- I don't think the rpm -e 
will take care of that.

But you could also do as you described and delete them by hand (your RPM 
database wouldn't like it, though), and also delete lib/modules/2.4.20-8
