You will need to remove the road wheel and then the bolts holding the brake caliper. The brake rotor can then be removed.

Suggest replacing the rotor and brake pads at the same time. I replaced the plain rotors with drilled / grooved ones to improve wet weather brake performance.

Sounds like you didn't have the rotors turned when you replaced the pads. Either have the rotors turned down, or replace them with new ones and the shaking will stop. Also make sure there is nothing between the rotor and the hub, this would cause a problem as well.
