I can't find a diagram but they're so simple it's hard to screw up. You should also change your pads while you're in there.

Steps:

1.) Take off the wheel
2.) Locate the 2 bolts holding the caliper on the bracket and undo one of them and slide the caliper up, you can take the pads out of the rotor and depress the pistons back into the caliper using a C clamp. [make sure to lubricate the sliders with brake grease]
3.) Now put pads back in caliper and tighten back up to torque.
4.) Locate the 2 bolts holding the caliper bracket to the hub and remove both of them and get a couple zip ties or some rope and tied the caliper off to the spring above. Careful not to put a lot of tension on the brake line
5.) Slide rotos off the hub, it might be easy and it might be tough, depending on where you live and if you drive it in the winter. If you can't get them off easily, there should be 2 bolt holes that you can thread a bolt into and keep tightening to pop the rotors off.
6.) Slide new rotors in place
7.) Bring down the caliper and tighten back in place to torque.
8.) Get in your car and pump the brakes until they feel normal
9.) Take your car out for a spin and test them out to make sure everything is normal.

Hope that helps ya.

should be easy, take off tire, i think there are two or four bolts that you`ll have to remove from the calaper (thing that holds the brake pads)they`re on the back(make sure you write down which bolt came from where, some are specific as to where they go), other than that its an easy job. rotor should just pull right off
