assuming it's the front, there are two small holes in the middle of the disc that get hidden when the wheel goes on, there is a thread in there for a bolt to be wound in so that it pushes the disc off, i've never had to use them, but apparently that's what they're there for... or, just belt it harder with a hammer....

Did mine earlier today and sat there scratching my head for a while....

Then I came up with a solution, a piece of wood and a lump hammer.
Seeing as I was replacing the discs it didn't matter about damaging them. Put the wood on the inner face a wallop it. It'll come loose, don't fret.

Easy from then on in.

Best of luck,
Nige.
