How to Remove the Brake Disc on a Ford Fiesta

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Brake rotors

Learn how to remove the front brake disc on a Ford Fiesta. Position your car on a column lift and raise it to a comfortable height; loosen the bolts with a socket spanner or air drill and remove the wheel. Next, start unscrewing the bolts of the brake caliper to detach it from the bracket. Use a screwdriver to detach the brake pads and remove the caliper bracket. Unscrew the bolts on the brake disc (using a Torx screwdriver), then pull the disc towards you to slide it off the hub. Install the new brake disc with all the associated bolts, tighten the caliper bracket to the disc and the pads, then refit the brake caliper, ensuring all bolts are securely tightened. Bleed the brake caliper and tighten the bolt. Finally, refit the wheel with the bolts.
