Same disclaimer as the wheel bearings tutorial so please read that first

Now first remove the whole assembly as per the above thread.

Remove bolts (14mm 12 sided)
This is much easier with a rattle gun but if you have a good vice you can use a breaker bar or a mate to hold it and hit a breaker bar with a mallet which I have done before which is the hard way.

Use a dead blow soft face hammer to knock out the hub

You may need a little bit of heat, just heat it evenly and not over the top if you want to use the rotor again.

To mount the new rotor, just lightly tap into place and use a couple of the bolts to keep it lined up and tap it in with the dead blow hammer.
Add a bit of loctite to the bolt threads
Tighten the bolts to FT ( Damn tight for those who don't like the term I use)

Check all around it to make sure it is seated properly and reinstall as per the wheel bearing thread.
