    Park Tools has advice for all.

    But hydraulic discs pose no problem to getting a wheel out - undo the QR, and pull out! If the rear wheel, easier if the gears is on the smallest cog. DO NOT pull the brake lever with the wheel out though.

    Go to that famous video hosting site and type in changing a tyre. Very good series of mountain bike specific videos on there (there are a number that begin with the title 'mountain bike maintenance'..kind of obvious I know!).
