Use 9mm Allen wrench I think and remove 2 slide bolts on caliper and take caliper off, but dont let hang by hose.

Take two bolts off back side holding caliper bracket on.

Take spindle nut off. 35mm or something like that.

Take rotor off. May need persuasion from mallet (NOT METAL HAMMER).

Take 3 bolts off back side of knuckle holding hub assy on. Their in a triangle and like 15mm. Take hub assy off.
