Removal
1. Loosen the wheel mounting bolts, then lift the relevant part of the vehicle and secure it on stands. Remove the relevant wheel.
2. To reduce brake fluid loss, remove the cap from the brake system's refill reservoir, cover the reservoir neck with polyethylene and screw the cap back on. This is necessary so that the cap seals the refill reservoir. Alternatively, use a clamp to pinch the brake hose going to the caliper.
3. Remove the two bolts and remove the caliper bracket with the caliper from the steering knuckle.
4. Clean the area around the connection of the brake hose and brake pipe and unscrew the brake hose. Close the holes in the brake hose and pipe with suitable plugs.
5. Disconnect the handbrake cable from the rear brake caliper.
6. Remove the caliper.
7. Remove the brake disc.
Installation
1. Check the condition and measure the thickness of the brake disc.
Warning: When replacing a brake disc, the other brake disc must also be replaced to ensure uniform braking. When replacing brake discs, the brake pads must also be replaced.
2. Check and, if necessary, clean the mating surfaces of the brake disc and hub. When installing a new brake disc, remove the protective coating from its surface.
3. Install the brake disc onto the wheel hub.
4. Install the caliper with brake pads. Do not twist the brake hose. Check that when the front wheel is fully turned, the brake hose does not contact the front suspension elements and the body.
5. Secure the caliper with the bolts and tighten the front caliper mounting bolts to 120 Nm and the rear caliper mounting bolts to 95 Nm. If re-installing bolts with a ribbed head base, use a wire brush to clean the ribbed surface.

6. If the brake hose was disconnected, screw it back into place.
7. Remove the polyethylene from the filler neck of the replenishment tank and bleed the corresponding brake circuit.
8. Install the wheel and lower the vehicle to the ground. Tighten the wheel mounting bolts in a diagonal sequence to 120 Nm.
9. Press the brake pedal hard several times to press the brake pads against the brake disc.
10. Check the fluid level in the brake system reservoir.
