first take off the caliper, then take off the wheel then you can unbolt the rotor from the hub and its done!

i'll add to that.. first you want to take off the 2 12mm bolts that hold the caliper to the brake stay. then the caliper will just slide off the disk. next, take off the 17 mm lug nuts on the right side wheel. after your rim is off, use a 6 mm allen head socket piece or just an allen wrench and unscrew the 4 bolts holding the disk on. once those are out it should tap off of the hub fairly easy. install your new one and do those steps in reverse! ;)
