I haven't done it before but I think there are some rivits that you have to drill out to get them off. DOn't worry about replacing the rivits, they were put there for assembly reasons. :cheers:

Others that have done it will pry chime in with specfics but I think this may be what your looking for. :cheers:

Releasing the parking brake helps. Sometimes they're stuck a bit and that makes the rotor hard to get off. If no one has worked on it before the rivets will still be there. They're not that hard to get out, just use a high quality drill (drill a small pilot hole first and then a larger one).

If the rivits or out you will have to back off the parking break.
