you shouldn't need any special tool all you have to do is remove the caliper assembly of the rotor and the rotor should come right off. If not then the rotor should come off if a there is a nut holding it on there
i just changed my front rotors and pads on my 2001 escape, 6 cylinder. everyone was wrong on the wrench sizes, including the idiots at my local ford dealer. to get the brake calipers off I needed a 7mm hex bit. to get the caliper bracket off I needed an 18mm socket, it was a very easy job but check your wrench sizes first, it seems that every year and model uses different sizes.
hear is the perseger for removing the rotor. if the rotor it stuck to the hub use a large soft mallet or a 2X4 and a larg hammer place the wood on the eafge of the rotor to kept from marking the braking surface. then hit the wood with the hammer.

someitmes, you have to remove the brake caliper to get the rotor off. It has 2 bolts going from the inside to the outside. Usually a hex head or a Torx head bolt. Same as Ford Escape.
The tool is nothing more than a 3/8 drive allen hex head, metric. They come in a set with 4 wrenches, sized from 7 to 10 mm. and 4 inches long just for brakes. Sears has them I think. Your Ford has different size bolts front and rear. The set is only about $8. Get the pads done before they eat the rotors, I hear they can't be turned, which is a joke. Hope this helps.
the only things that are holding the rotor on is 1) the brake caliper which i believe has 2 14mm screws and 2) the brake caliper bracket which has 2 17mm screws holding it in place.once you remove these 2 parts,tap on the rotor( where the wheel goes bolted on )with a hammer and it should come off easily.if not spray some penetrant on the studs that hold the tire on, then tap on it some more and it should come off.hope this info helps.take care and good luck, manny
it is a torx bit for your caliper bolt.a size t50 if I am thinking right. use a good one as these can be hard to get broke loose.as far as rotors remove cliper slide bracket with an 18mm two bolts and rotor will slip off. might have to tap with a hammer
Hex size for front caliper removal
