How do I get the disc of my Focus?

I am changeing my brake pads and disc on my Ford Focus 02 plate estate. I have taken the brake caliper off but I cannot remove the disc. Any help much appreciated.

They can and do rust on. Make sure you clean all rust off the hub before you fit the replacement discs if you want them to run true. I lightly grease them on assembly so that they don't rust on next time, but only very lightly.

Don't get grease anywhere near the disc braking surface.

Thanks cdc, I did check to see if there was any grub screws or any thing holding it on but there doesn't seem to be. I did give it a couple of light taps with a 20 oz hammer. I will try the 2lb one on it tomorrow. Thanks again for your help.

there might be a grub screw attaching it to the hub if not it may be seized to the hub,if you are replacing it then try a 2lb hammer to release and shock it off the hub.
