I am in the process of removing the brake on my 2008 997 Boxster. But after removing the calipers and 2 screws which hold the disk on when removing the wheels, I can't seem to find a way to remove the disc which appears stuck on. On my 996 911 there were 2 screw holes where you inserted tw0o small bolts to push of the disc. Does it require a puller?
Any help would be most appreciated.

You have a better chance of getting a response if you post this in the Boxster forum. Notwithstanding this, if they are front brakes they are probably just a bit seized on and require a few thumps with a hammer, while turning the disk and hub to prevent the disk jamming on the hub. If it's the rears then you will have to release the handbrake a bit as the shoes can get caught on the rim, may still require a few thumps to help it on it's way.
 
Hi Clyde Many thanks for the response. It is the front discs I'm changing. So I will give them a nudge with a hammer. Searay19
