Front Brake Disc Replacement

1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations.
2. Remove the front wheels.
3. Remove the brake hose mounting bracket (A).





4. Remove the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts (B), and remove the caliper assembly (C) from the knuckle. To prevent damage to the caliper assembly or brake hose, use a short piece of wire to hang the caliper assembly from the undercarriage. Do not twist the brake hose with force.
5. Remove the 6 mm brake disc retaining screws (A).





6. Thread two 8 x 1.25 mm bolts (B) into the disc to push it away from the hub. Turn each bolt 90 degrees to prevent the brake disc from binding.
7. Remove the brake disc (C) from the hub.
8. Install the brake disc in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:

^ Before installing the brake disc, clean the mating surface of the front hub and the inside of the brake disc.
^ Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surface of the brake disc and the inside of the wheel.
