Hi Robert .....by rotor , I assume that you mean front brake disc ?

In which case , remove the front wheel and you should see a small allen bolt holding the front disc to the hub .......undo that allen bolt being careful not to sheer the bugger and the disc should slide straight off !

Good luck .....

I would definately remove the caliper first.....
Take off the pads/compress the caliper so that it can be slided of, unbolt caliper(two bolts behind/on the backside of the caliper, 21mm??)

THEN undo allen bolt...bla..bla.....

I was aware of the allen screw and caliper removal, but didn't know if there was more to it than that at first. Pulled it off!
