If there are any screws holding the rotor, remoe them first. After removing the brake calipers, you should be able to take them off. If it is stuck too tight, some hammering ot the hub is required. A better way would be to use 2 pieces ofr 10 X 1.25 mm bolt to slowly tighten into the 2 holes on rotor.
