Have a look at the ends of the axles, there is a hole in each end where you can fit a socket into. There's 4 bolts holding the retaining plate in, undo them and you're on your way.

After you have taken those 4 bolts off, if it still wont come loose, what you can do is put the disc on backwards over the studs, put a couple of nuts on a little way, then use the disc as a slide tool to remove the axle. Works a treat!

If you have ABS, don't forget to remove the sensors first.. otherwise you will be like me and have a "Check ABS" light on your dash :(

Taking the center out is easy, just undo the 4 bolts holding the bearings in, and use a big pry bar to gently pry it out. Well it worked for me
