Video tutorial

In this video, learn how to remove a brake disc from an Opel Antara. Position your car on a column lift, loosen the bolts with a socket spanner, and raise it to a comfortable height.

Unscrew the bolts and remove the wheel, then start unscrewing the bolts of the brake caliper to detach it from the bracket. Use a screwdriver to detach the brake pads.

Now remove the caliper bracket and unscrew the bolts on the brake disc, pulling the disc towards you to slide it off the hub. Remove all dirt and debris from the disassembled parts with brushes. Before reassembly, lubricate the parts as shown in the video.

Apply grease to the bolts and prepare all parts for assembly. Fit the brake disc with all associated bolts, tighten the caliper bracket to the disc and the pads, then refit the brake caliper, ensuring all bolts are tightened properly.

Before fitting the wheel, bleed the brake caliper and tighten the bolt. Fit the wheel with the bolts, top up any lost oil, and always check the brake pedal pressure.
