Default All you have to do is remove the caliper

the rotor is only attached by the wheel bolts. Once the caliper is removed the rotor should come right off unless it is stuck on with rust. If this happens, just take a rubber mallet to the rotor to knock it off (please make sure the car is properly secured on jack stands otherwise you could get really hurt or damage your car).

Go to the bottom of the article linked below, it describes how to remove the front caliper.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/wheel1.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/tech/wheel1.shtml</a</li></ul>

Default And the carrier

The rotor will loosen once the caliper is off, however to fully remove it you'll have to take the carrier off also.
