Part: Brake rotors

Replacing a worn brake disc? Let's look at how to remove the brake disc on a Ford Focus. The first step is to remove the front wheel. Unscrew the bolts of the brake caliper to detach it from the bracket. Use a screwdriver to detach the brake pads. Remove the caliper bracket and unscrew the bolts on the brake disc with the appropriate tool. 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 mount the brake caliper, ensuring all bolts are securely tightened. Bleed the brake caliper. Mount the wheel and test the brakes.
