if you have removed or drilled out the little screw thingy .. then welcome to a world of fun
basically - sit on the floor - get a mallet and spend XX hrs slowly knocking the back of the disc - rotate - bang - rotate - bang etc..
it might help if you bash the bell of the disc ( the outer inside rim if that makes sense ) - the bit where the studds stick thru
it took me HOURS to do the rear discs :(
Easy, stick a bolt in the threaded hole and it will release the disc when it is wound in.
You may need to tap it with a soft hammer to help it along !

i think i tried that aswell shaun - didnt work for me ( or i was just scared of snapping it off in the hole !! )
It should do, the bolt for pulling force and the hammer for shocking the disc off. If its rusted on then it won\'t be easy ! You can exert a lot of pressure off the one bolt before the thread is stripped. Just tighten it up with a spanner then tap it with the hammer. Leave it under load for a while then add some more pressure to it !

I don\'t have a screw or a threaded hole?
think i\'m gonna go down the big lump hammer route.....
no threaded hole - really ??? :(
you can see it on your new disc - might be worth really checking the disc thats on - cause if there is one with something in it - you wont get it off !! LOL
SUCCESS!!! Brake disc 0 - Graeme 1 :D :D
Rears all done, fronts next week. Trying to bleed them was a pain in the erchie though.
And for the record - it is a 10mm flare nut spanner for the brake lines. :D
congrats - i found doing the fronts a lot easier than the rears :D
well thats next weekends fun and games! :wiggle :wiggle
i must have been lucky when i did mine both front and rear came of fairly easy
well done T at least the rear stops now ,will think about you doing fronts as i lounge in the sun
cheers Pete! :2Mad
