Well if you've already removed the calipers and pads the next thing to remove are the anchor plate bolts (see attachment 1). Then remove the keepers (see attachment 2). The disc should come off. You may need to spray some penetrating oil in and around the studs and let it sit. Some gentle tapping with a rubber mallet will also help.

U.M.

Use a heavy hammer or small sledge and strike the rotor between the lugs that is where they get frozen
