Default Break disk replacement.

Hey guys, im new to the forum and im sorry to jump in straight away with a dumb question.

I need to replace the disks on my Focus MK1 1.8 Zetec, I have had a quick Google but I am unable to find anything remotely useful.

Ive had the card up on Axle stands and had a look but im unsure of how to remove the disks, from what I can tell is I should remove the calliper and then tap the disk loose. Is this correct and if not do I need to remove the locking nut on the end of the drive shaft to allow the disk to come loose?

Thanks in advance

Thanks buddy, guess what im doing when I get home from work
I will see how the current pads cope as they are pretty new and have only covered around 1500 miles, ill give em a try and if no good ill chuck em.

Thanks again
