No hard work. I did it in my entryway. It is convenient to unscrew the parking brake adjuster, which makes it easier to remove the rotor. If your rotor doesn't want to come loose from the hub, you can remove the rotor and hub together, and then remove the rotor from the back of the hub. mine are rusty! Never get a replacement. Much luck! 19mm to remove the nuts 14mm to remove the bottom gauge slide bolt (simply flip the gauge up) 10mm to remove the speed sensor bolt 17mm to remove the hub bolts (very tight, 1/2" drive recommended)
