Remove the caliper, then slip the rotor off...if it's stuck a few blows with a hammer will loosen it up...

The Caliper is held on with two screws which are set in sleeves. They are either torx or allen headed, depending on the year or part brand. Remove them. The books say you need C-clamps, but they are not necessary.
If the rotor is hard to remove, tap it with a hammer, with moderate power. You may need to hit it harder, if so, put something soft on the end of the hammer as to not damage anything. once it is off, the rotors should pull straight off. if not, hit it with the hammer. it should come off.
