Loosen the 15 mm bolts of the affected wheel, lift the car with a jack, and remove them completely. Take off the wheel.

Using a 13 mm socket and a 16 mm spanner, unscrew the bolt and nut located behind the brake caliper and detach it, then remove the brake pads which will now be free. Using a 14 mm socket, unscrew the bolts behind the disc to allow the caliper to be removed.

Unscrew the disc screws with a T30 Torx and take off the disc. Lever behind the central round cover until it is removed.

Unscrew the long central bolt with an 11 mm spanner, extract the bearing, and fit the new one, tightening it to 120 Nm.
