Lift the vehicle on suitable car stands and remove the rear wheel (loosen the fixing bolts before lifting it completely); unscrew the fixing bolts of the brake caliper and remove it; extract the old pads and detach the brake caliper support. At this point, unscrew the fixing screw of the disc and remove it from the hub, which should be cleaned of oxidation residues using a wire brush; then apply the new disc after cleaning it of protective oil, applying grease to the corresponding seat on the hub. Refit the caliper support, insert the new pads, and retract the caliper piston using a C-clamp before refitting it.
