OK, is it a front wheel drive? I dont know much about the new fords, but if it is your gonna have to release the CV joint before its gonna come off. Ive only done it on older cars, and I think you'll need a soft hammer and a lot of patience.

If its not a front wheel drive, it will literally just fall off unless the bearings are rusted to it. The centre bearing nut and brake caliper are all that will be holding it in.

Probably either a set screw securing the disc to the hub or the disc has fused to the hub. There will be a theaded hole in the disc which is where you screw a bolt into to free the disc - not sure about the size bolt though, M6 maybe?
