Hi there, these rotors can sometimes cause a bit of grief in removing, With car on stands, wheel removed and caliper removed, there should be 2-3 counter sunk Philips head screws, these are sometimes very tight and can require an impact driver to remove, also the rotors can bind onto the hub and can require a fair whack with a soft hammer to remove, Remember safety first, use a dust mask as brake dust is nasty stuff, eye protection if hitting with hammers. If you are fitting new pas as well, you will have to push back the brake piston, easy way is to put old pad on piston and use a "G"clamp to wind back, do one side at a time as if both calipers are off, you may pop the opposite calliper out, while you wind in the other, if you do that you will be I a bit of strife.
