It's not really very difficult. You need to remove the 3 bolts holding
the brake caliper and then move the caliper out of the way...you can let
it hang by the brake lines. Then unscrew the little bolt in the rotor
and pry the rotor off. You can use a crowbar to jiggle/loosen the rotor
from behind the hub. Should take no more than an hour for each side.

Why bother with the ATE Power Disk. Get the Brembo rotor from FCP Groton
for $32. I never liked ATE because over the years their calipers froze up much more than Girling. One time I got rotors from Autozone...they were great.
