   you took the carrier off??
   
   tbh shouldnt get in the way, the disc should come off after the two torx bolts are removed, try rocking the disc by gripping it at the top and bottom, may be a bit rusted on mate

   Yup, disc is held in position by the small screws.
   
   DO NOT REMOVE THE BIG NUT, as it holds the drive shaft in place!!!

   ok i understand what u said our mate is here and did mechanics but he seems to think that you have to take the center bolt out as he looked around and thinks its all as one from the disk and the surroudin of the center bolt but he had doubt weather it was just rusted in so much you cant tell without really hittin the disk to see if it prizes off with abit off boy power lol
   
   so is it possible to get disk like that or is it all saxo's the same as what you have said ( without taking center bolt out )

   nope that nut is connected to the driveshaftand hub mate, its not a part of the braking system at all
   
   just hammer it off if your replacing the discs anyway

    Bash one side then the other, then the top, then the bottom.
    
    Lots of small/medium taps rather than large ones!
