You see that hole in your rotor that wasn't being used by screws to hold it in? Find a bolt or flat ended screw that fits in there (yes, the hole is threaded). turn it in, and it will pop right off. it's incredibly easy. Take your new rotor down to the hardware store and figure out what size you need, if you don't have tons of spare screws/bolts lying around to try like I do.
