Remember to wind the handbrake shoe adjuster in so that you can pull the disc off, sometimes you find a lip which stops the disc coming off. Otherwise it an easy job.

Undo caliper bolts, pull calipers away from disc, tie caliper to strut so as not to put undue pressure on flexible break pipe.

You MAY find the disc comes off easily. I didn't and had to insert two M8 bolts into the threaded parts of the disc. Wind each in approx equally and this will force the disc off.
