1. remove wheel
2. remove lower caliper bolt, pads, slide caliper off/or remove top bolt too (cant remember off hand) neatly hang caliper with coat hanger or something so it is not hanging by the brake line.
3.  Remove caliper bracket bolts  (2 @ 17mm)
4.  Remove screw that hold rotor in place, sometimes these are already gone or twisted off, don't need em anyway. (these are PITA sometimes)
5.  Remove rotor, whack it with a BFH from behind if you have too. (unless you plan on using them again)
6. reassemble and pump brakes before you leave the garage/driveway
7. Retorque wheels to 85ft/lbs
8. send bbp 6 pack of cold beer <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
