You're going to have one of those "Doh!" moments here...
1. Remove the tire/wheel combo
2. Remove the caliper (2 bolts) and suspend it from the spring with a piece of wire so it isn't dangling from the brake hose. If a brake pad falls out just put it back in unless you're replacing them at the same time as a rotor (good idea).
3. Pull the rotor toward you. It just slides off the wheel studs.
Done! See? Doh! ;)
If you're replacing pads at the same time, press the brake piston back into the caliper using a C-clamp and the old brake pad. If you don't have a C-clamp large enough try using your thumbs. Remember you're pushing brake fluid back up into the reservoir so keep an eye on it. If it's been refilled since the old pads were installed there's a chance it'll overflow. Brake fluid is one of the best paint removers ever created.
Cheers
