Get a Haynes,Chilton, or other manual. You'll be glad you did.
Also, what's causing you problems? A brake job is a pretty strait forward job.

Bro your pinoy you should know this! Take off the wheel, dismount the brake caliper. You should see that there are 2 philip screw locks on the rotor that keep it mounted. Unscrew it and the rotor should come off just by sliding. Install the new rotor, mount the brake caliper and put your wheel back on. tools needed - jack, if you want to be extra safe use 2tones, xbar, lugnut lock, socket wrenches,I forgot what size the caliper bolts are, there's 2 I think they're either 10 or 12mm, and a philip screw driver.

You shouldn't have to take off the nut that locks the cv into the hub.

sometimes they stick, if you have the caliper off then you might need to give them a few taps with a hammer, no need to remove the lock nut.

Finally got it done....i found out that i didn't need to remove the lock nut....the only problem i had was the Bolts holding the Caliper Brace...they were on there really good...and i did get a hammer to remove the Rotor...Now i'm happy and pleased to have Drilled Rotors and Ceramic Brake Pads...Thanks for the Tips Everyone =0)

i'm surprised nobody told you to take off the anchor. That's the mistake I made when I did my first brake job. I couldn't figure out how to get the rotor around the anchor lol...
