Hi,

Once the wheel is removed, you first need to remove the brake caliper and caliper mount. Once they are removed, the rotor can be removed.

Here are directions for caliper and rotor removal and replacement. The attached pics correlate with the directions.

REAR DISC BRAKE CALIPER

REMOVAL
1. Depress the brake pedal past its first inch of travel and hold it in this position using a brake pedal depressor (holding) tool. This is done to isolate the master cylinder from the brake hydraulic system disallowing the brake fluid to completely drain out of the brake fluid reservoir.
2. Raise vehicle.
3. Remove rear wheel and tire from vehicle.
4. Remove the banjo bolt connecting the brake hose to the brake caliper. There are two washers (one on each side of the brake hose fitting) that will come off with the banjo bolt. Discard these washers.

5. Remove the 2 guide pin bolts mounting the caliper to the adapter (Fig. 32).

6. Remove caliper from adapter and rotor by first rotating top of caliper away from the adapter, then lifting the caliper off lower machined abutment on adapter (Fig. 33).
