1) disconnect inboard end of half shaft
2) engage handbrake
   2a) if the handbrake doesn't cause the rotor to stop turning,
       you may need to crank the adjustors down
3) loosen the accessible rotor bolts (these are probably allen head
     on a milano, get some allen head sockets for your breaker bar)
4) disengage the hand brake, rotate the rotor, and repeat 3 & 4 until
     all rotor bolts are removed
5) disengage handbrake
6) remove pads
7) remove rotor
8) disconnect brake line at caliper
9) remove two bolts holding caliper in place

it should come out now.

installation is the reverse...blah blah blah

you are doing so much work at this point that you may wish to examine the
condition of the pads and rotors and consider replacing them if it is
indicated. you're removing and reinstalling them anyway.
