Try looking here. This will get you to the hub once the disc is off. From there, it looks as if the hub needs some coertion to come off. Mine came off in the process of taking the discs off, they were on really tight! They normally don't take the hub off with the disc though.

See how you go, hope the pics etc help!

You can adjust it through the adjustment hole using a flat blade screwdriver. Not easy, but can be done.
