just done this on mine...once you take the caliper off, and the caliper bracket the disc just slides towards you...however i had to use a rubber mallet and some force to get the disc free...once its off just remember to put copper grease on the hub and inside of the disc before you fit the new disc...

remember to take the screw out of the disc which stops it swivelling on the hub...
