Once you have lifted the vehicle and removed the rear wheels, disconnect the brake caliper from its bracket, remove the old pads, and detach the bracket itself. Next, move on to the fixing screws of the disc to the hub and remove the disc by threading a longer bolt to push it outwards.

Clean the disc seat on the hub with a wire brush and apply grease. Retract the caliper piston using a special tool that allows the cylinder to rotate, clean and grease the caliper bracket, and fit the new sliding pads for the brake pads.

Install the new disc after removing any protective oil, reattach the caliper bracket, insert the new pads, and then refit the caliper (check the brake fluid level).
