Part: Brake rotors

Obtain the replacement disc, then loosen the wheel nuts and lift the vehicle, securing it. Unscrew the bolts and remove the wheel. Unscrew the two retaining screws of the caliper with a spanner and move it away. Remove the bolts of the caliper bracket and take it off. Unscrew the disc screws and forcefully remove it from its seat. Clean the entire braking assembly of deposits using a grinder. Refit the new disc and clean it. Also, clean the caliper, piston, and caliper bracket thoroughly. Reassemble the caliper bracket. Fit the new pads, ensuring the correct rotation direction. Check the wear condition of the clips and the piston. Grease the fixing pins and reposition the piston, ensuring proper operation. Carefully reassemble the caliper and springs.
