first remove the tire and then you can remove the two larger bolts on the bracket that holds the cylinder and brake pads. The bolt size is either a 13/16 or 3/4 inch. Tap the rotor with a rubber mallet or hammer, if their are clips on the studs you need to remove them first and the rotor should come off and then slide the new one on over the studs and replace the clips if possible but not necessary. Next put the caliper back on and then replace the two larger bolts. You may have to open caliper cylinder by prying a flat head screw driver in between the pads and rotor then remove two smaller bolts which are 7/16 to 5/8 inch take out pads and replace with the new ones and shims if possible . make sure all bolts are tight as possible when putting back together also do not touch the rotors or brakes with dirty hands or gloves don't allow grease to get on these parts where the pads touch the rotors. will cause noise latter on.
