Hi Duckdo, what year is your car,
if it's a classic, the discs should just pull straight off,
if not there is probably a small grub screw holding them
but the drive shaft nut does not hold them on.
Hope this helps

There should be nothing holding them in apart from the wheel and caliper

iirc there's a couple of threaded holes (but maybe only the rear), you can screw a bolt in and it will help free the discs from the hub, it could just be rust holding the on

Are you talking front disc or rears??

The front's just just come off with a tug or a tap with a mallet,

The rears are a little more complicated, you need to wind the handbrake shoes in via the winder on the back of the hub, this is accessed by removing a little oval rubber plug
