When you pull off the brake caliper, the rotor should just slide off after you remove a few bolts. Sometimes they are rusted on....but nothing a hammer wont fix.

i just recently changed front wheel bearings in my toyota and a friends. Once you take the caliper off, take the dust cap off of the spindle. There should be a cotter pin in the end and then a lock nut and an adjuster nut. Once you remove the pin and the nuts the rotor should slide off the spindle.

LIKE THE OTHER FELLOW SAID REMOVE THE COTTER PIN THEN REMOVE THE NUT THEN YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE HUB FROM THE ROTOR , THOS YOU NEED IMPACT GUN EITHER ELECTRIC OR AIR LIKE THE ONES SHOPS HAVE THERE ARE FIVE BOLTS YOU GET THEM OUT AND THERE YOU HAVE YOUR OLD ROTOR, PUT ON THE NEW ROTORS AND REVERSE THE PROCCESS GOOD LUCK
